Always a pleasure seeing fellow Aussies posting aroung here esp with pics. Looks like it went down a treat. It's not often you get to see the Cornish Nat. and it comes up well.
I'd say your obsrvations are not too dissimilar to mine on those points. I often find I get grilled by anyone with a sence of national culture about the kilt. Some people assume I'm an expert but I at least try to point them in the right direction.
