If you're gonna dress in tartan, and run a kilt shop, learn a wee bit about it......

.....I think a lot of Americans could not distinguish between Wales, Ireland and Scotland on a map, unfortunately.

Very True. Part of the problem is the "P.C." crap they are getting is school. We have watched the quality (and accuracy) of education nosedive over the last ten years. We still have two children in high school, and this year the school started using the common core method (which is nothing more than the old Soviet system, Lyndon Johnson tried back in 1964.) Geography and history are not a priority in today's educational system.

Sean Connery was indeed an Edinburgh milkman before he became an actor, delivering pints of milk door to door. His last name, of course, is Irish, and he wears kilts in various non-clan tartans because he doesn't consider himself a member of any clan.

Sean Connery has been know to frequently wear the MacLean of Duart Hunting Tartan. His mother was a McLean and it seems he relates to that name.
