    So, Steve, about 17% of Victoria's male ethnic Scots own a kilt*. In Scotland, 83% of the population are ethnic Scots**, so I'm maybe not too far out with my 5%-20% estimate, and MacRobert is very much on the money!

    *I approximate. I am assuming in my calculations that only ethnic Scots own kilts, which is of course not true.

    **In the latest census, there are three different questions which you could use as a definition, but all three have pretty much the same answers.

    1. Percentage of the population born in Scotland = 83%
    2. Percentage of the population who feel they have some Scottish national identity = 83%
    3. Ethnicity. The phrasing of the question and answers do not define this perfectly, but it is around 84%
