As one of many 20 and 30 somethings on this board, I am going to have to disagree with that. If you read my post about declining Scottish Societies in BC, I have stated that I feel like the generations are in a transitional stage, and many young people are looking beyond their current environment in search of roots to their past. I will also say that while some of the older generation may be more inclined to be more historical, I think the younger generation is likely to take up the kilt and other traditions of their past, more so than the older generations, which may like to read about history, but have no interest in resurrecting it for a new age.
