No longer a question specifically for Jock

Because I believe Mr. Ashton won't dignify your retort, I will.
Please educate me as to "what it is all about"

I think that neloon as one of the last 4 active Scots to participate in this forum was trying to enunciate the feelings of many Scots about the attempts by others, who have no knowledge, belief or interest in the traditions and soul of Scottish people, to use what is an unmistakeable national icon -the kilt as some sort of trivial item to be used in any form at a whim. This deeply held belief may come as a surprise to someone who has no personal affinity to any historical background of any significance but you may take it from me that it is not something to be regarded lightly.
If you choose to dismiss such sentiment lightly then you demonstrate a lack of any understanding of these national values.
