Burns Night without Kilts

[Phil]

Having attended many Burns suppers I don't actually remember anyone wearing kilts at any of them. That is not to say that someone should not do so, just that it was not a particular feature of the occasion. Please remember that kilt-wearing was not, until fairly recently, particularly common throughout Scotland and especially so in areas such as the west of Scotland where Burns lived. So it is not really expected that attendees at Burns suppers be kilted. Quite the opposite actually.
