That's how it looks to me. Nothing wrong with the Welsh, Cornish, Irish, or anyone else adapting a few tartans and kilts, but I have never really heard anything to historically show that anyone but the Scots wore kilts.

It's nice to see the other Celtic nations (and others) adapting the kilt in celebration, but it seems to have blurred the lines of history and fact through our own wishful thinking. I had never even heard of people thinking of a kilt/irish connection until I joined this forum and was suprised to learn that many (in the US in particular it seems) believ the Irish also had a historical connection with the kilt.
