    Why not a simple "group"? A Group of kilted men, a group of men in kilts. It seems to leave nothing for anyone to be confused about.
    A 'rabble' sounds like a put down or an implied insult.

    aha, but then that's the Scottish way. It really spins them when we take an implication and run with it. Like the way we adopted an eighteenth century English fashion fad that ridiculed us. Now, everybody's lost track of that and it's ours. Like Billy Connolly says, "a losing battle, and pouring rain, come on, lads, that's for me."



    quick disclaimer: Billy didn't actually say that, I'm running two jokes together.
