Kilt in Argentina

[macwilkin]

I believe Argentina has their own tartan too. Would think historic hating of the English would be something they'd have in common with Scots - if that were still so....

And, I'd think the Argentines would identify with the juevos it would take to wear a kilt there. Give it an extra swish or two and stand tall.

See my post above, Ron -- you missed my comment and link about the Argentina tartan.

As far as the common "hatred of the English" goes, remember that the Falklands/Malvinas dispute is not the "whole" story in terms of relations between the UK and Argentina. The British were very active in supporting the efforts of several South American countries in securing their independence from Spain, including Argentina, through the efforts of soldiers-of-fortune, one of the most famous being the Scot Thomas Cochrane, reportedly the basis for "Lucky Jack" Aubry in the "Master and Commander" novels of Patrick O'Brien. There's a bigger picture than just the "hatred of the English" that is waay too off-topic for here.

This article from the BBC explains the relationship:
