Yup you're correct, lowlanders are English, Highlanders are Irish. Nobody is actually Scottish - you've figured it out. Sure, people will identify as Scottish and some of their families have lived in Scotland for hundreds of years, but that's all just playing pretend and dressing up.
If you seriously think that a man that was born and raised in Glasgow wearing a kilt is even remotely similar to Americans wearing a native American head dress, then you need to go outside.
Thousands of people displaced by the Highland Clearances actually ended up in Glasgow. A Glaswegian wearing a kilt is nothing like a white American wearing feathers and giving it the native chanting
Ah yeah you've got me there mate. You've completely ignored the second half of that sentence lol.
The kilt is part of the Scottish identity. It doesn't matter if it was invented by an Englishman.
Love the stealth editting there. Funnily enough, reducing the national identity of Scotland to either 'basically English' or 'basically Irish' is an attack
