Is it possible to wear a kilt and not look like you're from Scotland?

[Jock Scot]

I understand where our Padre is coming from. I can also appreciate Jock's position as he was born and raised in the Highlands and has never left. The question to Jock is : "If you were to emigrate to another country, let's say Canada which has more citizens of Scottish ancestry than Scotland has citizens, would you leave your kilt and your heritage behind?". Do you think that you some how you would go through a cleansing process to remove your ancestry? - no our ancestry is what it is and we cannot change it.
I am asking these questions, I hope politely and in and attempt to further understanding.

I have travelled quite a bit in my time but never to North America. Of course I would leave the kilt behind, I am outwith the Highlands, my roots will go with me wherever I go, but the trappings will obviously stay behind where they belong. I am starting a new life in another country in this example, Canada----the fishing will be good, but I will be a Canadian not a Scot.
