I'll be wearing my kilt in the Forde (Irish family) tartan on St. Patrick's Day. No, kilts are not Irish in terms of antiquity, origins, etc. But, in terms of modern association, there is enough of a tradition of Irish kilt wearing to justify it nowadays. Many folks now look upon the kilt as "Celtic" as opposed to "Scottish." Inaccurate, but prevalent... so wear it!
