Wearing a kilt became more than a tradition. It was a symbol of Scottish national pride, of freedom, and identity. To all those who were forced to flee Scotland and establish roots in other countries, Scottish poet Robert Burns had some words for them.
Did the English ever wear kilts?
In the British Isles, the kilt is mostly associated with Scotland and to a lesser extent Ireland. Boys in England itself, however, also occasionally wore kilts, especially after Queen Victorian began dressing the princes in Highland kilts during the 1840s.
In the true sense of the meaning yes, but as long as it isn't worn as a joke or to make fun of Scottish culture, it's more cultural appreciation than cultural appropriation. Anyone can wear a kilt if they choose to, there are no rules.
