In my case, no scottish heritage has to be proudly remembered on badges or family trees, no cultural connection seems to be close by far to my homeland and also my family influences (my grandfather used to sing flamenco and we are mediterraneans after all),.... but from my kid's years I felt attracted much more by the sound of a bagpipe, and the astounding vision of a highlander in full dress....

At the tender age of 32 I made one of my dreams true and I went to Alba for last year easter's holidays. I knew from some friends that kilts were expensive for my wages level, but my brother told me to buy him one, even when he's not at all connected with scotland in any sense, even affective,...

In Glasgow I stopped in front of all the kiltmakers shops I found,... and I thought that it was an impossible dream... until I found a 2x1 offer ...
A Royal Stuart for my brother, and a black tartan patterned one for me,... for 180 pounds for both.

Of course after coming back (kilted) to Spain, I found this superb clan of good people that taught me so many things..., and I noticed that my wanderful kilt is just a casual 4 yards lightweight kilt... but I love it anyway! I also learnt that a black belt doesn't match at all with a brown leather sporran! :rolleyes: ... I'll keep learning,... be sure of it!

¡Salud!
