So far, Drew, folks have remained relatively civil to each other in this thread. As of this point, there's no real reason to "squash it" yet.

This thread has brought up many points. But I think what it boils down to is this point: Had the English not been so brutal in trying to take away the Scottish Heritage that kilts would have become much more versatile than formal.
A bit simplistic, really. One can make a very compelling argument that without the Highland regiments of the British Army, Highland attire might not have survived at all.
