As a Scot who is 3rd generation Irish and have a great affinity with the Irish
(when the national anthems of Scotland and Ireland are played at national events when the two countries meet, I am never sure what country has the strongest pulling power towards me), in all my travels in Ireland over the years I have never seen a kilt worn in that country, is the kilt in Ireland not totally reserved for Irish dancing events?

In Scotland you are more than likely to see men in kilts than you are in Ireland,
During the summer season particularly at weekends Scotland is abundant with kilties probably because that is the wedding season, and it is often quite possible to see a kilted gent anywhere in Scotland at any given time, the kilt certainly is not such a rare attraction as it was a few decades ago.

It would be great if the Irish wore the kilt more often but they are not into tartan the same as Scots and is it quite possible that men do not want to wear a kilt that looks more like a skirt. Here I have to aplogise to my friend Paul, who seldom posts on this forum now, but he has a solid green Irish kilt which he wore at the Drop Kick Murphy's concert in Glasgow last year with me wearing traditional tartan. I must add Paul looked great in that kilt(see my album) but as I said earlier - do men want to wear solid colours although black is the obvious exception?
