I was at a beer festival kilted on Saturday and got most of the standard comments and questions (nice kilt, what's the tartan, what was I wearing under it, etc.), but one question really threw me. A young lady asked if I was a full or partial Celt. I took it quite literally and answered partial (about 10% is the best estimate, unless my English ancestors are more Celt than Saxon, or Norman, or Norse, or even Roman). I got to wondering though if maybe there was another meaning to question, like maybe being a full Celt meant I was regimental??? Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I also have to state that while I want kilts to be more generally accepted as everyday attire, it is nice being "the guy in the kilt" at an event.
