I too think the whole issue of kilts, Celts, tartans, and nationalities have been done and redone, with many a less than noble bit of history and events of history under the many national skirts.

Interestingly, there are still many in the furthest reaches of the Appalachians who still carry remnants of dialect and accents from the 16 & 1700s as well as the same music, dance, food preferences and folkways. These folks are deep in the wilderness for the same reasons their forefathers settled there, i.e., to escape social, governmental, religious and many other intrusions. As in Braveheart, they simply wanted freedom. Ironically, the first major instance of Americans taking up arms against government intrusion was when they dared to tax their whiskey. Celtic blood runs deep!
