    There is another, the Jacobean (?) which may also be worn by anyone.

    Otherwise basically you have to bear the same name as the tartan...

    .... But in practise, no one in Scotland usually gives a toss. In fact, the only people I've met who really get their a*se in their hands about 'tradition' (often dating all the way back to Victoria, big wow) are the tourists and the upper class English that like to go to the seasonal Balls/hunting n' shooting trips to their mate Tarquin's estate and show off their four poxy words of Gaelic. Because tartan is popular, pretty and buyable our culture tends to get reduced to that and shortbread and twee crap. Oh, and Braveheart.
    Meh. Still, I suppose it's happening to every nation in the world. Hooray for global consumerism...

    None of which answers the original question. Do Highland biker laddies do their biking in the kilt? (And, for that matter, do Highland biker lassies do their biking in a kirtle ? )
