Interesting email from an Irish fellow about Irish kilts.

[McClef]

He may well have a point about the Irish tartans being designed and woven in Scotland but he's wrong about them being laughed at.

I had very good reactions to my County Antrim on my recent trip to Ireland and Gregory hasn't had bad reactions from the natives as opposed to one Australian.

He doesn't seem to have a good understanding of the Irish Diaspora nor seemingly of the strong ties and connections with Scotland that can be found in Northern Ireland.

Sounds to me like he wants to be divorced from Scotland.


...and the kilt!
