    The MacDo's and the MacDont's, if they where to stop and consider the fact that the kilt has been around since the dawn of time in some form or another, and then consider exactly who made these ridiculous so called rules, they would soon realise that the "Rules" where over the years made to the benefit of those that sell highland garb, ie of course a sporran maker/seller would love the day wear / night wear rule, he sells 2 sporrans instead of 1.

    Dont be put off by the MacDo's and MacDont's, consider what they say, but use your own logic, Just wear the kilt with pride be your own man.

    If I understand what you are saying after 100's or years of kilt wearing, to many years where it was illegal to wear a kilt, the Do's and don't's of kilt wearing were developed by the English? They were developed in an era where those that could afford a kilt outfit normally dressed for dinner. Frequently dressing for dinner meant white tie with a tails jacket.

    The style was to dress to impress. Now because of Sir Walter Scott and his romance novels we are being bound by a set of rules that should have only limited application.

    Some of this can be seen by requiring an evening sporran after six that will almost hold a pair of opera tickets and a few bills of money.
