Yea it's funny. I few years ago I went crazy trying to trace my last name back as far as I could (Heffner) because my dad was pretty proud of his German/Austrian Heritage. I didn't go down any other lines because it was meant as a birthday present for him.

So I decide I'm going to make and wear a kilt to a valentines dinner/dance. Went pretty well and I wore it to church the next day as well. Got a few questions asking if I was Scottish or Irish and I said I didn't really know. I spent the last couple of days going down his mothers side, and my own mothers parents. My paternal grandmothers name was Rice which is prominately Irish. My maternal grandmothers name is Mulkey, Start asking her questions and she says oh yea, we've been traced back to Scottland... Her married name (my mothers maiden) is Fair which has both Scottish and Irish roots...

All in all, I guess I'm "entitled" to wear a kilt after all...
