Regarding Burns Supper...The Church of Scotland in London at their Burns Night do not encourage the wearing of kilts as Burns was a lowlander and was not known to be kilted. He also was living in the period when tartans and kilts were only worn in the military. (1746 -1792) as they were prohibited following Culloden.
There is an engraving of Burns dancing 'The Triumph" at a ceilidh and he wears breeches of the period
Burns was always proud of his Highland roots and refers a lot to the 'plaidie' in his works. I bet if he didn't wear a kilt he'd liked to have done!
The Kilt is my delight !
