The "revival" of the kilt had very little to do with the repeal of the Act of Proscription, and everything to do with Sir Walter Scott making a romantic vision of the Highlands popular, and Queen Victoria making all things Scottish suddenly fashionable.[//QUOTE]


But let's say it wasn't repealed, then who would have been able to partake! ;-)

There are plenty of primary sources showing people were still wearing kilts, and tartan for that matter, during Proscription. I think it was mainly, if not exclusively, in the Highlands and Islands, though... not counting the military kilts, of course.
