Or it could come from a bunch of men talking on the internet nit picking and over thinking everything. It could be our desire to define everything, so that if certain things don't fit the mold, we expand the mold so that we can define it. Not sure how us watering down everything to make ourselves feel better (after all, we men need to know what category everything fits in or we are a bit uncomfortable ) makes the kilt less Scottish or loosens Scotland's claim to the kilt.

Which historians were those again? I haven't seen any historians on this board acknowledge that kilts were more than just Scottish in the past.
