Freedom it doesnt matter how many points you come up with about the history of the Kilt, a Tartan Kilt will ALWAYS be associated with Scotland, How many times have you been asked "are you Scottish?" when wearing a tartan kilt? , The kilt is part of the Scots national dress that will never change, any garment is subject to evolution, but a tartan Kilt worn by a man instantly says to people "Scotland"!!

if I could find an obscure website that shows the mexican sombrero was invented by a man from Kilmarnock, would that instantly change everyones perception?, I think not. I cant see the point of labouring this debate on and on.
