Being adopted, I never knew what my ancestry was. You could say I "chose" to consider myself Scottish, but it's not how I saw it. I just knew that Celtic music stirred my heart, that Scottish history always held my interest, and that I always wanted to wear a kilt. So when I finally came down to buying one, I kind of "chose" a clan too, picking the Gordon tartan because it was a great looking kilt.

Was it the right thing to do? It's debateable. I picked the off the peg kilt that fit me and looked nice, and I've worn it proudly since.

Since then I've found my biological father and discovered that I am indeed primarily Scottish. My father's last name is Harper, a sept of the Buchanans, so when I invest in a formal 8-yarder here eventually, that will absolutely be the tartan I buy.

In the ring, I stick to fashion tartan Sportkilts, because I'm playing a character who isn't really "me."
