An open question to The Scotsman. At what point in the past does your scottish tradtion commence. Is it the time when there were no clan tartans, or when the great kilt was first worn or does your traditional view start in the Victorian era. I ask this as you seem to be saying that if peole don't agree with your idea of the "traditional scottish attire then the are wrong in their own idea of tradition. I would be willing to wager a gold sovereign that you have at least once in the past, worn something, when wearing a kilt, that is not traditional highland attire.

Let he who is without guilt cast the first stone
