Apprpriate dress for ceremonial occasion

[Jock Scot]

You did momentarily have me questioning something I have seen done for many years, so I phoned the Legion headquarters and asked. You have to remember, this is Canada, not Australia. Your ways may not be our ways. The kilt may have started as a Scottish national dress, and been exported by the diaspora, but it is not longer just a Scottish national dress, as it has been adopted as a method of showing honour in many other places.

I have really tried to stay out of the conversation, but this is too much!

---------"the kilt is not longer just a Scottish national dress". Really? Says who? A Canadian? I think that there maybe a few Scots, more than a few, that would have something to say about that! I am appalled at the arrogance and insensitivity of that remark.

Hopefully, Jock, Farmer Jones simply experienced a moment of confusion when making that unfortunate post and is just waiting to re-phrase what he said to something like "the kilt is Scottish national dress but has been adopted as a method of showing honour ...etc".
I am sure that he didn't really want to describe such an important symbol of our heritage in such a casually dismissive way.

Phil, I'm all out of "ayes" for today, so have a + 1.
