Very interesting article and I learned (thanks to Google) that "ned" stands for "non educated delinquent."

The attitudes expressed by Craig Halley is sad but telling of what detractors of the kilt as everyday wear think:

"Even fashionable Craig, in thick, black Ray-Ban-style glasses, is not convinced by the “fashionable” take on the kilt. “I see the kilt as a formalwear thing,” he says. “I think any man wearing a kilt, traditional or modern, during the day looks a bit silly.”"
