    Thank the Scots for your Kilts. The notion of family tartans is mostly victorian thanks to Sir Walter Scott and some enterprising woolen mills. Today new traditions are growing from old traditions as the kilt or cilt is embraced by others. As our old boss used to say - the rising tide lifts all boats.

    I've learned, from many of the experts on this forum and a whole lot of reading, that the kilt is a recent innovation. I've also accepted the fact that it's damn near impossible for any of my Scottish forebearers to have worn anything resembling a kilt. I just take it as the Pan-Celtic garment of solidarity...if you have Celtic ties (and that takes in a whole lot more people than those of the Seven Celtic Nations) it's a good thing to wear the kilt. Guid on everybody who does!
