At the end of the day (I hate that phrase !!!), most Scots are kilt-virgins. They are not use to wearing one. I'm guessing, but I would suggest that 10% or less Scots own a kilt. The idea of a kilt resurgence is a recent phenomenon (since Braveheart engendered a sense of pride amongst even the most dull of Scots) and now you can't be a proper Scot (so it seems) if you don't don a kilt.

So artificial. I love how Gaelic is being brought to the fore nowadays but on the flip-side, it seems to be for political rather than genuine reasons. The whole Scottish "thing" seems a PR hype rather than genuine passion for varied Scottish cultures.

IMHO, Scots who are genuinely interested have always been so and many of those who don kilts in Scotland nowadays are Johnny-Come-Latelys who are jumping on the bandwagon.

The poster who saw 2 kilties in Edinburgh saw the reality. In my day (back in the 1980's) we used to smile and lament that the only people you would see wearing a kilt in Princes St would be tourists.
