I think a lot of a Latinos attitude towards kilts depends on where they are from in Latin America. In general, Brazilians (whose Marine Corps has a pipe band), Argentines and other South Americans tend to be a bit more accepting of the idea of kilts, especially if they come from a larger city like Montevideo, B.A. or Sao Paulo, where there are St. Andrew's Societies and Pipe Bands -- also, there were a lot of Scots that moved to Argentina at the beginning of the 19th century.

We have a good friend who is an exchange student from Colombia, and he likes the kilt -- he is always asking questions and wants to come to our Scottish society functions.

BTW, there are a couple of tartans for Argentina, and the Cochrane tartan is recommended for South Americans in general, because of Admiral Cochrane, the British soldier-of-fortune who fought for revolutionary goverments in S.A., and was the basis for "Lucky" Jack Aubry!

Cheers,
