Kilt Lengths in Gathering Photos

[Paul]

I am not trying to cause trouble here, but looking at the various photos of the Gathering posted, most of the kilts seem to be from mid-knee to the bottom of the knee. I had been lead to believe that this would be on the long side. Comments?

I dont sit the kilt above my whole knee... at The Gathering it stayed on my mid-knee is usual. It's just however you prefer it - although obviously if your kilts sitting out a bit from your legs at the front and people are looking down at it then it would appear your knee is covered.
best example of how I like to wear it:



To be honest I think most Scots who probably own one kilt for formal occasions would think it would look "stupid" to show your knee in a kilt.
From what I remember from my prom and a couple of weddings I've been to what you're saying is true. I've seen a guy wearing his kilt far below his knee and a plaid on "the wrong shoulder", kilt pin on the wrong side and it just didnt look right to me. However - he probably thinks "it's ok... it'll do" or had simply looked at a reversed or mirror-taken picture to guide him!
