I don't have a pair of ghillies (but would wear then if I did) and only wear a sgian dubh with formal wear. The reason for this is that they have been continuously worn as part of "Dress" attire. The great kilt itself has not, and in fact was not worn at all until the Renn Faire thing took off. The same thing with togas (as I mentioned before). No one wears a toga except to college toga parties.
