I hate the host weather in florida but at this time of year the kilt was a perfect garment, is it not always.  And as for the tartan, I had it identified here on x marks, it is a weathered variation of dress Mackenzie.

Again, correct: the burning of Jamestown happened during Bacon's Rebellion in the 1670's; Oglethorpe didn't found the colony of Georgia until the early 1700s.
