I did like the suggestion of Pleat, but Sett has a nice ring to it, and definately is descriptive of something that is associated almost entirely with the kilt.

If I must be serious, I like the "Rabble" and the "Sett" idea. It sort of gives a whole new meaning to being Sett upon.

So would a subset of Rabble wearing badger sporrans be a badger sett?

Where 4 Scotsmen gather there'll usually be a fifth.

...and a convener of a kilt night in Dublin would be an Irish setter?

And a group of inflexible kilties would be sett in their ways?

The assembled rabble. A sett of the assembled rabble. A multitude of the rabble. Being led by an overture of the pipes.

I kind of like the term "clump" of X-Markers... Like a clump of dandelions. :ootd:
A clump of dandelion zombies. 
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
