					I had to go with Non American Part Timer w/o Scot Heritage as I'm Canadian and am of Welsh/English (not sure which... yet) descent.
 If I could I would wear a kilt every chance I got!

					I'm American and I wear what I want.  Outside of work that is.  I even wear my kilt at work about six times a year when I can con the boss into accepting it as a cultural observation.  I marked Scottish heritage although, to be honest, my Scottish and Irish roots are many generations back and I was in no way raised in any Celtic traditions.  Like most Americans I have ancestors from a lot of places.  In addition to Scotts and Irish my ancestors were Swedes, French Huguenots, Germans, and a few who specifically turned their backs on wherever they came from because they claimed no nationality but American.  I would be wearing the kilt even without any Scotts ancestry.  In point of fact, I started wearing a kilt before I knew I had Scotts ancestors.

					I voted American part-timer with Scot heritage, but there's a caveat. I wear a kilt full time when not at work, bowling or any other activity where a kilt wouldn't work. So I'm part-time/full-time. I have Scot heritage, but its because my step-father adopted me and, according to the Hay clan officials I talked to at a Celtic festival, that makes me an out and out Hay.
