OK you wanna say that to me while I'm wearing a kilt?
6'3 x 2' across the shoulder, with my Skein Dbhu (the dagger) and Dirk (the short sword) both allowed as they are ceremonial.
Also the "skirt" is the dress kilt that was resurrected after the English banned tartan in the 17th century. The true kilt which almost no one wears is what you see in Braveheart. That's a massive bale of cloth that's used for more than just a "dress", it's used as a bed roll too. Just wrap it round you like a blanket.
As to Irish, the Scots and Irish are related mostly due to lots of Irish coming over to Scotland and vice versa, the Potato famine era and the highland clearances era for example, also the spread of christianity from Ireland to Scotland.
Sean is a decent ambassador for Scotland in some ways, he was a milk man from Leith who became a body builder and got famous. Other famous Scots actors include Ewan McGregor and Dougray Scott.
Irish, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Farrel and some others ;])
Most of the Irish went to the USA, most of the Scots went to Canada, New Zealand and everywhere else that was part of the British Empire.
