Breaking the guidelines because you disagree with them, or feel more comfortable in attire that doesn't follow them... that is independance and individuality.
Not learning the guidelines and showing no interest in them is disrespect to a symbol of a nation.

Being independant is ok, being disrespectful is not.

Contrary to some people's belief, the kilt is NOT just a piece of cloth. It represents a nation and it's people. No, you shouldn't have to be Scottish to wear one, but you should respect them.
some people born in scotland don't fallow all the rules,nor do they know them, so why should I?
you are right when you say the kilt should be respected, more so in the company of scots.
don't get my wrong I do understand most of the so called rules, and try to learn the history of the kilt etc,just that some people can get a bit anal about it,the funny thing is , some of these people have never been to scotland,and only have a slim connection to scotland, so to make up for it, they rant and rave to the rest of us about how to wear a kilt.
