Sir Robert, I second Jimmy's quotes. However, as an American (who happens to be descended from not only Scots but Welsh, Irish, English, German, French and a smattering of Scandinavians) I take a somewhat more liberal view. I regard kilts as a living, working, garment (thank Heaven!) and not some dusty old costume frozen in time. It is unavoidable that the wearing of kilts will evolve based on the different locations, populations, climate, etc.

Now, having said that, I can assure you that when I travel to Scotland I will take the utmost care to wear my kilts in a manner befitting the deep and abiding respect I hold for my Scottish heritage as well as Scottish culture in general.
