Stuart Erskine quote in and out of context

[OC Richard]

Though much later than Jock's early exposure to kilt-wearing in the 1940s, mine in the mid-1970s was still at a time when "kilt" only meant a traditional hand-sewn garment containing 6, 7, or 8 yards of traditional kilting cloth.

Things like Utilikilts, casual kilts, sport kilts, tactical kilts (!) etc etc were decades in the future.

Highland Dress was still at that time essentially unchanged from the Highland Dress of the 1920s.

So as late as 1975 kilt-wearers could still have read the Erskine quote from within a kilt-wearing milieu not too distant to his.

Today, not so much.
