Whit is a utility kilt?

MMM
Now you are touching a raw nerve :-)

Alba - Scotland
Alba Nuadh - Nova Scotia
Breizh - Brittany
Cymru - Wales
Eire - Ireland
Kernow - Cornwall
Mannin - Isle of Man

The above mentioned are Celtic nations and tartans were worn as well as the Scots, so that information of course is incorrect, whether it be gossip or not.
If it was not hearsay then they need to be out right.
There are over 50 welsh family tartans as well as national tartans and I am sure more Irish and other family tartans aswel as the Scots tartans, so if the quote is it should only be Scot born in Scotland that can wear Tartan then they or whom needs to be put right.
As for family tartans not being available, well there are many who wear a family tartan of which they are not belonging to, you can even buy them off e-bay.

It does bother me at times when I wear my Kilt with comments like (your not Scottish why are you wearing a Tartan Kilt) well my Jones and St David’s Tartans are of course Welsh but trying to explain this to the ignorant is hard work, yes of course you see many more Scots wearing Kilts than here in Wales maybe the reason it is why they all use Scotland as the Kilt land, and of course the Tartan Army of rugby fans certainly make it so.
I am sure all here know this, I just thought with not seeing a reply to the fact I thought I would just mention it :-)
No offence intended if it reads so.

I hae tae be honest, but a hae never associated Welsh wi' kilts nor there national dress. However a dae realise they are Celts. Are the Welsh tartans naw a modern thing? And of course Scotland is the kilt land!!!
