Why you don't see Scots wearing their kilts often

[Nighthawk]

Very well said.
We wear various kinds of trousers, depending on circumstances and for every task. Most men wear only trousers.

Inexpensive tartan kilts and modern kilts in addition to high quality expensive kilts give us the possibilty of wearing the kilt every where and everywhen, should we so wish.

Exactly! That's the thing that I love most about the kilt- the versatility of it! (That is, aside from the fact that it's much more comfortable!!) And I grew up surrounded by kilt wearers. My grandmother thought it an important cultural icon, and wanted us to keep the tradition alive. There was a movie- I forget what it was now- where one of the characters said "Without tradition, we're nothing but savages." I always thought that way, myself.
