Where to wear clan badge...

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Ahh, a personal attack against me and my country!

I should point out that it was you who first made the dig at me. As far as attacking your country goes, please show me one word in my post that is even remotely disrespectful of the United States. Or Bulgaria, for that matter. Now, what was it Dr. Johnson said about false patriotism?

I wondered what all the supportive PMs were about!

Snooping in my mail box, were you? How ungentlemanly.

But as has been said, consider the source; a member who as far as I know, has never been seen in a photo here,

Then you know very little.

...but is never shy about expressing his "sartorial criticism"!

It seems to me that you have vented as much criticism, usually aimed at chiefs and peers, as just about anyone else on this forum. When I have expressed critical opinion, it has never been laced with snide innuendo-- or the direct comment-- that, because of an individual's status "he should know better". This sort of critique, it seems, is your forte.

It would seem to me that rather than huffing and puffing about the way clan chiefs dress, or being chagrined over a posting that reflects the attitude of Scots who find it mildly annoying to see themselves hectored by yourself -- as to matters of "appropriate" Highland dress -- you might do well to consider the source of the kilt and then reflect on this: In Scotland the kilt is worn as a matter of custom, not costume.

And then ask yourself if the same is true where you live.
