Why would that bee? In the height of the Clan system weren't kilts still everyday clothing, not stylized as we see today with rules or Conventions to observe. At one point and for quite some time over its history it was simply what a Highlander covered his bum with so as not to scare the English.

I wonder just how recent some of these con mentions are, how Lord High muck of Large bottom and Spread was rendered in portrait notwithstanding.
