That's my real point Hamish. Just because the kilt I am wearing is Canadian made and designed doesn't mean the Kilt, as an entity, is not Scottish. Chris seems to be implying (correct me if I am wrong) that Scotland is loosing the grasp on the kilt, and the Kilt will one day be seen as American, or Canadian, or Pakistani, etc rather than as a Scottish garment.
