Comments from a 'friend'

I have heard others say that Spanish does not include a word for which the literal translation is "kilt." Is this true and could that be part of the problem?

Abax

That is true.

In fact, the bagpipe even has a completely different name in Spanish, instead of anything remotely connected with 'pipes', the spanish word for a bagpipe is 'gaita'

So a piper/bagpiper is known as a 'gaitero'

And a 'gaitero' is known not to wear a kilt as part of the uniform, but rather a 'falda', which is the spanish word for....you guessed it...'skirt'
