A number of recent threads have touched upon the (often touchy!) subject of the wearing of kilts beyond today's Scottish borders, by folks who are not actual citizens of that country, or not even Highlanders.

Well. join me in celebrating 275 years of the wearing of kilts and Highland dress (in one capacity or another) here in North America! In 1736, a colony of Scottish Highlanders was established in Darien, Georgia (first called "New Inverness"), and numerous accounts describe the clansfolk as wearing their traditional highland dress - including in battle with the Spanish out of Florida.

So, does two-and-three-quarters centuries of a pretty much unbroken history of donning kilts here in the New World afford us the right to continue on without being frowned upon for doing so...?
