So yesterday was the first time my mother's side of the family has seen me in a kilt (at leat a traditional one). Considering this is the Scottish side of the family, mom thought it would be a good idea for me to wear my Macinlay tartan (maternal grandfather's family). along the general ribbing and "aren't you cold?" questions, my grandfather really didn't know what to make of it. The Scottish heritage was completely lost on my grandparents- both of them are for the most part first generation americans. My mother and aunts had started the research into our heritage, which has been increased by a few of us in my generation. I just thought it was a little odd the amount of ribbing I received, although I'm used to it by now.
