A Question for the Scottish Bretheren
**Note this is not designed to be a question of or about policy or politics***
I watch PMQs every Wednesday without fail. I am curious as to whether there is a reason why Scottish MPs are not regularly kilted in the House of Commons (from what I have seen). Is it matter of choice, tradition or protocol? In some ways I think it is a shame, as there is discussion on Scotland (i.e. the computer games industry in Dundee) and this would, to my mind, put such a Scottish mark on the proceedings. From the history I have learned in this forum, I know of tartan being banned in Scottish history and wearing tartan would seem to be a point of Scot pride. I had the opportunity a few years ago to visit the NZ Parliament, and admitedly not quite the same, but MPs frequently had sheep skins from their constituencies over the back of their seats in Parliament. I liked that quite a bit.
