    I hear and respect what you say and indeed as Canada is a member of the Commonwealth it is relevent. However maybe it is time for the rest of the world(they are beginning to) to wear their own tartans and not Scottish ones. If you care to delve back into my old threads I did bring this point up in "Ponderings of an ancient Scot".

    On the matter of cars I see Honda as Japanese, Jeep as American, Porche as German, Bentley as British.

    as a Jewish Canadian I'd like to point out that Egyptians wore a kilt like garment long before the Scottish. But I generally wear solid colours but will be getting a ancient Morrison to honor my wives grandmother and a maple-leaf to honor my Canadian birth and a clergy to represent that my tribe were keepers of the temple. Eventually I'd like to get an x-marks tartan but if far into the future.

    this is not to disparage the kilt as a cultural dress of Scotland only my own views and since Canada embraces multiculturalism.
