This is the way it's been in the past, but that is rapidly changing. Just look at the tremendous explosion in the number of Irish tartans and number of people wearing Irish kilts in just the last 20 years.

Now there are Welsh kilts and Cornish kilts. Next I assume will be Galician kilts and Breton kilts (as part of the Celt=kilt equation).

Then there's the huge increase of military and police and fire tartans and kiltwearers, many of these kiltwearers having little or no Scottish ethnic connexion, no Irish or other "Celtic" ethnic connexion.

Though I think that Scottish clan and military tartans will be at the heart of the kiltwearing world for the foreseeable future.
