Maybe one day we can all look back and realize that the friendships and knowledge shared here, native Scot, diaspora, and kilted non-Scot alike, can all help preserve traditional Highland Dress. And if, like myself, we have a "rebel streak" and decide to dress down the kilt to the modern casual, we still remain cognizant of the traditional when we do so... and we still know how to dress the kilt properly when the time is appropriate.
