I did say "the simple answer"! 
In truth I know not what and when the Sinclairs of Caithness wore whatever but I can imagine the the Caithness breeze(rarely less than 30MPH, well OK, I exaggerate a tadd) might have influenced the clothing choice. Malcolm is often seen wearing the kilt at functions. Kilts are indeed worn up there these days, but as per usual they normally come out for special occasions. I am a fairly regular visitor to Caithness and I cannot recall seeing a propper set of trews there, I have seen those things that golfers wear from time to time though.
