That's too bad, then. In general, most Scottish societies are filled with nice people who take pride in their ancestry and wearing the kilt. You seem to have this "holier-than-thou" attitude that those of us who do not wear our kilts "shopping, washing the car, going to work...every day" are somehow "below you" -- if I'm wrong, please correct me. If you believe that kilts are about freedom, then shouldn't someone have the freedom not wear a kilt all the time, but for events that are special to them?

But, in the end, it's your loss -- you're missing out socializing with fellow kilt-wearers, who may differ from you in terms of personal beliefs about wearing the kilts, but in general, would be more than happy to see a new face, and one interested in kilts in general. Be open to these as you are to wearing the kilt on a regular basis, and you might just meet some fellow kilt wearers who turn out to be friends. And before you say, "I'm not Scottish", not everyone in Scottish groups are -- one of our most active members in our local society is 100% German Lutheran from Nebraska! My wife and mother-in-law are French Cajuns, and our President was born in Brazil. Many Scottish-American societies allow anyone to join with an interest in Scottish culture, including the kilt.

I find it interesting, though, that you are so dismissive of these groups, yet you have a tartan for an avatar.

I'm sorry to have bothered you by suggesting some groups in PHX where you could meet fellow "kilties".
