Question in mind

[macwilkin]

Hello from up north. I would have a small dilemma at hand and I would like to find out the answer to it. I am not orginally born in Scotland neither in Ireland.I am not anyhow related to any Clans nor to any scot/irishman.

But does this mean that I cannot wear a kilt? Stupid question indeed but still I just want to make sure that I am not stepping on anyones toes. I am thinking of making one because we are basicly going to start to practice somekind of a live-roleplaying game and are planning to follow the traditional way of scottish in 14th century. Is it ok to wear kilt even without anykind of blood relationship?

Thank you for your time.

By "Up North", do you mean Canada? There are plenty of Canadian provincial tartans, plus the Maple Leaf tartan.

And what ethnic background(s) are you, if I may be so bold -- the reason for my asking is that there are tartans for other nationalities, such as:

German
Italian
Dutch
Norwegian

Just to name a few. So Don't dispair -- you may find a tartan yet!

A good web site to peruse is:
