The Black Bear

I say that when a person dress up in traditional dress then that person loves that tradition and wanting to be it for a time. And that is how old tradition and traditions stay alive for such long time after the originator has passed away. And to say it is wrong to do that is to hide or kill that tradition from the rest of the world. We are no longer in the dark ages. See and experience it all.

Acid! you just defeated your own argument. Highlanders on both sides. It wasn't Highlanders against lowlanders. Different
religions backed different sides.

Perhaps. But, what I said is still true. Even in religions.

If you follow the logic that people of other nations shouldn't wear the kilt etc. then most Scots don't have the right either. It is Scottish highland dress not Scottish national dress.
Hold Fast

@seorasmac you dont know what your talking about, Highlanders (not lowlanders) wore the kilt in battle up to the 18th century. The last battle on British soil was in 1746, the Battle of Culloden where the kilt was worn on both sides by the Highland units of the Jacobite forces and the Highland units of the Government Hanoverian forces.

amazing how few people know that lol

Ignore some of these idiots below there clueless,if anything i bet there not even Scots but English or have been brainwashed here in Scotland with the English Education system that has been rammed down our throats for 50 years.

On a brighter note its good to see our fellow Scottish brothers grasp there proud heritage with open arms and keep it alive i am just a bit annoyed with the Union Jack flying not the Saltire.

"We Can Still Rise Now And Be A Nation Again"

Also why is the Irish tricolour flying at a Scottish festival

You're an idiot mate. The scottish education system is pathetic, worse than the english one, and i know for history especially gives no rounded education at all, and while the english civil war (kicked off by events in scotland) gets no mention, the actual mattle tactics employed by robert the bruce in 1314 get several lessons' worth of attention! Its a fucking disgrace. The Highlanders were part of the british empire, mate, Scots were, if anything, over-represented in that respect.

Open up a Fucking History book once and awhile wanker. This tune should be played at highland pace not mil band pace.
