I can note two exceptions to;
"I maintain, though, that this isn't necessary nor always followed; that "white tie" on an invitation alone does not EXCLUDE the wearing of Highland Dress. I know of no exceptions to this."
The first is Nobel Prize awards.
The second is opening nights at the Vienna Opera.
Both events specify White Tie & Tails are the only accepted forms of attire.
I have attended both (obviously not as a recipient at the first) and can attest that any form of Highland attire would not be acceptable.

I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
