    I'm going to side with those who thinks it's silly to expect Edinburgh to be full of kilts just to satisfy tourists. Be a good Scottish reason not to wear one.

    Stereotypically, Scots are also dour, miserable, tight, and prone to violence. Do the tourists want those qualities as well.

    The reverse logic would also prevent kilts being worn in locales outside of Scotland.

    If you see them, great, if not, there's always the drunken walk (what is the right name for doing the pubs on the street behind Princes?)

    Perhaps, if they were caged.
