Without trying to be insulting, Mr Hughes seems to be an enthusiast for Scotland, without understanding, the history and dress. This could be a problem with the internet, it's often difficult to understand what exactly people are trying to say or get across when not speaking to them face to face.

As an aside to that he has what is normally recognised as an Irish forename, a Welsh Surname, both spelt in the English manner and lives in Scotland. That together with the Gàidhlig people really does explain the Problem with Describing A "people" in Scotland (or come to that any other part of the United Kingdom)..
I do understand it. That's exactly why I love it so much, I know Highland Dress was once restricted to the Highlands, I'm a lover of the Victorian Romanticism period and that's why I am so enthusiastic.

Yes, Hughes is both Irish and Welsh.
