Q is quite right there are specific exemptions within the UK law for carrying knives(SD's) that are in keeping when wearing national attire. What the Customs Officers may do and think about the dirk is beyond my ken.
Just so you know, unless you are a piper where the dirk may be a part of the uniform, but in normal circumstances the general kilted public in Scotland, including at weddings, formal or not, then the dirk is not worn. Many, most even, here would consider doing so as very odd, regardless of what the UK law might or might not say on that specific matter. I fully agree with Q that it might be best to leave the dirk at home as it might be more trouble than its worth.
