We're not talking "kilts" per se, but rather "great kilts" - more properly termed belted tartan plaids. Most Scots did NOT wear them, but Highlanders did after at least the mid-1500s (first written reference is from the 1590s, which means they were most likely in use for awhile before someone sat down and wrote about 'em!). You can go with just a period shirt.

Any ol' moccasin kit will work (just cut the side flaps off these):
