I was talking to an Australian Gentleman yesterday and he confessed Hed love to wear the kIlt but he felt his status as an Australian prevented him from doing so, which is sad really, he was amazed when I explaned that not so many years ago the penalty for repeat offenders wearing Tartan was a (free!!) trip to Australia (his Majesty's plantations beyond the seas,) which he found frustrating given the price of air travel thsese days!!
I suggested he looked at some of Australias bank notes to see Scots faces staring back at him and that Scots had played a huge part in shaping Modern Australia.
and of course suggested he check out Xmarks
