I believe that you wrote "but it is not longer just a Scottish national dress" in an earlier post so I see no malice or misinterpretation in accepting that this is exactly what you meant to say.
Whether or not you choose to wear a kilt to some ceremonial event in your own country is entirely a matter for you and no-one here is in any way trying to pick a fight or exclude you so please do not be so precious about this. Your assertion that the kilt is no longer just a Scottish national dress is not only incorrect, however, but is also deeply offensive to those of us born and raised in that culture. Many here previously have tried to "pooh-pooh" our claim to the kilt as a national symbol, for whatever reason, mostly I think to justify some spurious reason of theirs to legitimately wear a kilt, so if you receive a strong rebuttal then you will certainly know that you are not being picked upon.
