    So- to answer the question from what I was taught by my paternal grandmother, who was a MacLeod from the Isle of Skye- If you were take a French poodle and put a German collar on it, would it all of a sudden become a German shepherd? Of course not! By the same basic logic, what you wear under your kilt does not change the nature of what it is.
    The American President Eisenhower was once asked if he considered himself a Texan (he was born there), even though he was raised in Kansas -- Ike replied:

    "If a cat has kittens in the oven, do you call 'em biscuits?"

    I like Ike! (Yes, that was a purposeful play on words!)
