Hello to all. This is my first posting. I am not Scottish. I am of Irish ancestry. Counties Donegal and Galway. A very close friend of mine and a member of this website, have been having a lot of discussions and doing lots of research about the Irish and kilts. I know traditionally the Irish did not wear kilts but it seems to be very common to associate the Irish with wearing kilts, too. Is this just an American thing or a marketing stunt? I would love to join my Scottish brothers around town and events wearing a Irish tartan kilt which I also know are not traditional, but I also don't want to look like an idiot either. You know, "Look at that dork with the Irish kilt. The Irish don't even wear kilts". Or should I just say the heck with it, be myself and say I'm not Scottish but I like to wear kilts and I'm Irish so I thought it made sense to wear Irish colors. Anyway we're all of Celtic descent anyways, right? Let me know your opinion. What do the Scottish have to say about this?
