    I've got both bases covered, I have both Highland/Isles AND Lowland ancestors.
    Highland dress shares quite a bit with modern Native American tribal dress. Modern Indian Pow Wow attire has taken over among the various tribes regardless of their original, tribal/regional clothing and decoration.

    Scottish Highland attire has become THE national dress of Scotland, and is shared equally by both Highlander and Lowlander. Why even the Irish and Welsh have adopted it as their national dress now.

    As much as we like to remain true to tradition, what is being worn today is far different that what was worn during the clan system anyway.
