Cornish still accept the straight black skirt as a tartan for a kilt. So, I do as well. Straight colors count on kilts as well.

Cheers.

Again, I have no problems with the Cornish wearing kilts, tartan or solid black. It's when someone tries to claim an ancient pedigree for kilts that I have my doubts.

Agreed. History in time will be revealed, but as for now, pedigree is somewhat of a completly unprovable idea. We live in the information age which makes most information easy to come by and just as easily, corruptible.
