I am living proof that you don't need a celtic connection to wear a kilt. While I certainly understand, acknowledge and respect the origins of the tartan kilts I like to wear, I wear kilts because I like them- cultural identity is not really a factor for me (I'm mainly Italian).

What I'm about to say probably verges on blasphemy with some of you , but I'm not particularly interested in Celtic music, and I have never drank a Guinness or a single malt Scotch (I'm more of a martini guy- I hate beer. I'm hopeless, I know...)

Good topic!
