Being Irish/German on my fathers side and English/Norwegian on my mothers, I wear the the kilt to celebrate my Irish heritage. I currently have the Ireland's National kilt, but am rapidly expanding my inventory with a box pleated black canvas, box pleated Westmeath Country Crest, and a knife pleated Navy Edzell.
While I don't wear mine daily, I don't hesitate to wear it to the pub, dinner, concerts, soccer matches, etc.
Great history O'Callaghan!

O'Callaghan, thanks for the history lesson! And that is indeed what I intend on wearing, either a Heritage of Ireland or saffron colored (as my uniform kilt is). I do own a non-clan tartan phillabeg, but that was because it was purchased for a Kilted Christmas Eve and incorporated the representative colors of the holiday.
If I was to entertain the thought of wearing a tartan that was other than non-clan, I would indeed learn the background of it so that I could pay the proper respect to the clan.

I am a 100% kilter and I do have Scottish, Irish, Dutch, English, German and French.
I don't wear a kilt to be a Scot in a kilt. I wear a kilt to be Man in a kilt.
I have made a dozen plaid tartan kilts that rep. nothing more than I like the pattern and the colors.

Nothing Scottish about me I'm 75% Russian, 25% Polish if you go back a few more generations all Russian.
but my wife has Scottish 2 generations back and my daughter is learning Highland dance.
I will soon (like in the next few days) be pulling the trigger on a Stillwater heavy and I own a UK original.
as I acquire more kilts they will become more often worn.
