Two Telling comments? The Answer Perhaps?

Any event can be regarded as "special" if the kilt-owner is so inclined! In addition there are a large number of pipe band performances and competitions so that, on any weekend, a considerable number of males (and females) will be kilted. Add to that the very popular ceilidh dances (weekly, for example, in most universities) and for which the kilt is commonly worn. So, although those of us who wear the kilt 16/7 are indeed in a small minority, the kilt is by no means absent from commonplace experience via family and friends.
