Native Scots vs the scottish diaspora
I see alot of threads either asking for or gathering comments from native Scots on various topics such how they still wear the kilt or their opinion on the kilt outside it's natural home. I would like to ask a different question.
I like many approach the kilt as a means to recognise and honor our heritage and the generations that came before. I like most are actually honoring generations long removed from the "old country", in my case eight. It is my hope that we can state that in almost all cases the generations of the diaspora have done very well for themselves and I would hope we could report back to our cousins still residing in Alba the great and honorable influence we the diaspora have given to world at large but it may very well just be self serving conceit.
So I would like to ask my cousins (eight times removed) have we done as we should have or am I just full of it?
Feel free to answer as you please. According to the missus I should abandon the kilt and instead acquire myself some hip boots and a shovel. ;)
