Apprpriate dress for ceremonial occasion

[Phil]

The Scots did not invent Tartan. The kilt as we know it today was probably not invented in Scotland

Here we go again. What did I say in my earlier post about Scotland's claim to the kilt being "pooh poohed" by contributors here over the years? This type of unsubstantiated drivel which tries to undermine an established truth is both scurrilous and unnecessary. Fair enough the poster has a vested interest in selling kilts to non-Scots and perhaps has an agenda to prove to his customers that they, too, can comfortably wear kilts without the slightest pang of conscience. Trying to convince the wider public of an obvious untruth, however, does no-one any favours.
Whatever spurious justifications such people try to come up with, the undeniable fact remains that tartan and kilt-wearing are incontrovertibly accepted as Scottish through and through.
