While I am no expert on anything, I have read and heard a bit. I have read in supposedly scholarly works that the Celts lived in a mountainous area where mountains met the Steppes. One writer suggested that the meeting of the Celtic goldsmiths and silversmiths and the Scythian domesticators of the horse was one of history's happier serendipities. The Celts spread out in all directions, driven by population pressure, so that from the Steppes to Africa, Europe, and North America, Celtic soldiers and sailors, in keeping with the selfless generosity of their people and their professions, generously shared their DNA with the local populations. Therefore, it is entirely possible you have as much Celtic blood as some others here. Also, while the Scots have refined the kilt to its current state, it was not the only country where kilts were worn, and both tartan and kilted or kilt-like garments predate Scotland.
You like it, wear it in the best of health, with no requirement of authorization.
