There are quite a few Irish round here. And there is Connolly's Irish Pub. I am pretty sure if I walked in there wearing Blackwatch, I wouldn't walk back out again.

Already had one encounter wearing Black Watch SWHW with somebody that knew what tartan it was and became quite irate that I was wearing it. I was able to talk him out of it. Well, there was a second encounter, but it wasn't bad. Wasn't angry. Much. Somebody I know from an AA meeting, he's Irish, and he didn't much care for Black Watch. I don't know enough about the hows or whys to say much else.

It really does stir emotions in some people, both good and bad.

I suspect that if I were to get an Irish National tartan kilt it would be well received.
