    I have a friend not far from Glasgow and, when I was thinking about getting a kilted skirt, I asked her about the attitudes in Scotland regarding the wearing of tartans.

    Her response was to wear whatever I liked, that there isn't any strong feeling about it in Scotland except in jokes etc. - just choose one you like and go for it. Nobody there would bat an eyelid. "They might ask you what it was if they liked it or if it was unusual but it would be perfectly ok to say you wear it because you like it."

    Since she is involved in "cultural stuff" over there, I figure that is as close to 'the horse's mouth' as I am likely to get,
