Tartan Week Highland Cooshit

Tartan Week
What a total load of bullshit.
Consider this, where o where did the local weaver, get the vibrant colours available in today’s kilts?
Most likely the colours used would have been a greeny brown ,purple, blue maybe yellow or a soft off white from leaving the wool it’s natural colour.
As for producing tartan with it’s check type design, I don’t think so, how many ordinary highlanders could afford to buy a fabric that would be expensive, due to the time involved in production?
As for the ridiculous tam o’ shanters and the like, fuck off with that Walter Scott inspired pish!
Yes folks Walter Scott the writer had a few too many whiskies ,when cooking up a highland pageant, for the King George, to welcome him to Scotland, George buy the way was wearing flesh coloured tights under his kilt.(what a macho man).
Tartan in it’s original form was just whatever was made by the local weaver, most Scots were too busy eking a living from the land to bother with tossing cabers, sword dancing and doing the highland fling, unless a tick had landed, on their 3 piece suite.
So wee Aleck Salmond looking like a king sized div in his kilt and Stetson ensemble were really just enjoying a fantastic junket at the Scottish taxpayers expense, plus they get too look like plonkers.
This will come as a surprise to our dear American cousins, coming back to the old country ,thinking we all have a still out the back chase haggis and dance our hearts out over swords ,before collapsing in a heap in our kilts.
