I don't find this offensive, and I am Scottish
Title says it all.
This is a funny costume-- music hall stuff like Sir Harry Lauder used to wear-- and it's intended to worn once and then consigned to the dustbin of last year's costumes. It pokes a bit of fun at those guys who show up at Scottish events dressed like an extra in the movie "Rob Roy"-- I don't think anyone should get too worked up over that. I know I don't.
Now here's my question: Is it better to carve a jack o'lantern with a sgain achlais, or a sgian dubh? If I carve it with my sgian dubh will people know I come in peace when I'm out trick-or-treating? If I carve it with my sgian achlais will they give me more goodies out of fear of my bellicose pumpkin?
