Today on Haggis Hunting the lads chat about some common myths and urban legends that come with the kilt, Highland Dress and Celtic/Gaelic culture generally.

* TARTAN myths. “My G-G-Grandfather wore the Irish County Donegal tartan”

* Trusting old photographs for “historical evidence” (just a portrait studio with bog standard kit)

* Ancestry.com says I’m 12% Scottish
