Criticism without facts to back it up is mere gainsay. And gainsay does nothing to advance or improve our understanding of our rich cultural heritage.

during the industrial revalution hundreds of thousands of highlanders came to work in glasgow bringing with them highland culture and attire. most scots in glasgow live here now because of migration from the highlands. And the last time I checked the highlands is in scotland. The kilt today belongs to the lowlands as much as it belongs to the highlands. So highland scots dont get on your highhorse just because you live somewhere in teucterville.
