Yes, even before the large influx of 'settlers' from all over in the past fifty years, Scotland was a land of incomers. That constant in- and out-flow of blood made the culture we have today, and continuing the flow will further enrich us in the future.

Personally I don't understand the title of this thread since I know of very, very few Scots who reject the complement when the kilt is worn by non-Scots. They may be a bit soured that their own pipe bands are consistently beaten by those of other lands, but they see that as a criticism of themselves and don't cry out that the pipes should only be played at home. That's what we get for having such fine national garb and such a blood-stirring musical instrument. Others want them, too
