Again, reading from Robert Falconer by George MacDonald (ca. 1860), he refers to the kilt as a Roman garment. Just thought I'd confuse the issue further.

oh, and judging from the amazing atrocities I saw worn in the local pub last St.Paddy's Day, I'd say anything goes, but perhaps you don't want to register kilts in peoples' minds in the same category as plastic green leprechaun hats! I think I'll pass. It's also too likely to get beer spilled all over it.
