I sent an e-mail. I said this:
I have been working on plans for an eventual visit to Scotland. An incident has recently come to light, however, regarding the attitude of the VisitScotland office in Dumfries towards Americans and kilt wearers. Please find below a copy of an e-mail that I was allowed to peruse from a fellow kilt wearer. Given that the requested apology was never forthcoming, I am inclined to understand that VisitScotland does not wish to have Americans or kilt wearers spend their money in Scotland, and that the opinions of Mr. Matthews are the official opinions of VisitScotland. Given that I am not a wealthy individual, I would like to make sure that at least the tourist board of a country would like my visit before I spend thousands of dollars (a certainty given the exchange rate between the US dollar, and the pound.) in their country.



An angry "Loud-mouthed American" (to quote Mr. Matthews of VisitScotland),

Rev. Charles R. Walker, Jr.

And then I put Robertson's cut and paste down below.
