prohibited tartans

[St. Amish]

My original post (from a cell phone) was to determine if a chief as said "no go" just so I can Definately tell any kilt police why they are wrong and where they can store their opinion for safe keeping (as in away from me). As "gentelman of a most certain tan" many uninformed persons automaticly take the position that I have "Absolutely NO RIGHT to wear a Tartan Kilt" since I'm obviously not of Scottish descent.

My nephew, who inherits Scottish blood from his mother, my sister, looks more the part of his Filipino father. If he were to kilt up and walk down the street, who would have the right to tell him that he's "obviously not Scottish"? On the very same token, no one would be able to tell if he were MacDonald of ClanRanald or Stewart.

People have no way of knowing what your reasons are for kilting up, or what your ancestry is or is not. Don't let ignorance keep you from kilting, or wearing the tartan that you feel is the right one. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who sees you kilted will have an opinion about it. The only one that matters is yours.
