Wearing a kilt but not being Scottish

[parpin]

As you I'm not Scottish and I wear kilts most of the time.

I'm just back from Russia and I was kilted all time.

All kiltmakers would have been in bankrupcy if kilts were permitted to Scots only.

Here's my thinking on this, you don't need to be Scottish to put on a kilt, you just need the courage to wear it!

That in it self will make you Scottish. (Courage)

Wear the Kilt MAN.

Certainly not on XMTS. Perhaps an unfortunate choice of words on my part, but I've seen some pretty extreme opinions expressed on other sites, and I'm just wondering which view is more prevalent.

P.S. Ok, admittedly Stormfront is probably a pretty fringe group. I probably shouldn't read too much into what they say over there.

Yes, I'd say the nexus of violent white nationalism online would qualify as a "fringe group," and their opinions can be soundly ignored.

I drink vodka, but I'm not Russian.

I enjoy bratwurst, yet I have no German blood in me.


My nickname is "Drooling Moron", yet... oh, wait... not a good example.

Heck, I wear Hawaiian shirts with my kilts... but I'm certainly not Hawaiian.
Wear what you want. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise... I've yet to see the "fashion police" hand out a citation.

There are plenty of red-headed Scots with Viking blood wearing the kilt. Just do it.

Wear the Kilt. I do and I not your average kilted guy. I do because its fun, women love a kilted guy and its freedom. Dont let soceity tell you want you should wear, wear what YOU want to wear.

Well, I like very much wear kilt, it's so confortable...anyway I prefer not to wear the 42nd gov. tartan but the Royal Stuart, that is one of the very little number of tartan that an Italian can wear (with the permission of Prince Bonnie Charlie!). Anyway I've to say that here in Italy there aren't great possibilities to wear a kilt in common life!

[Jock Scot]

There is plenty of Viking blood swilling around Scots veins. By all means wear the kilt and enjoy it. It might be worth you learning a wee bit about the history of the clan's tartan that you are wearing so that when an old "fuddy duddy" like me asks you the odd friendly question you can come up with an answer! We(I) do still assume, perhaps wrongly these days, that if you are wearing clan "A" tartan, then you are from clan "A"!!!! Have fun.

[The Ulsterman]

I say, wear it, and wear it with your head held high me boy!!!!

The Fijians in the Royal Scots and The Highlanders certainly did.

As a member of the Kilt Police, I only get upset when the kilt is NOT worn.
