Clever Comebacks

I wish people asked me what was under my kilt. I always get "Are you wearing underwear?" or "You know your not supposed to wear underwear with a kilt" A question which leaves a lot less room for witty deflection

My response in the first case has simply been to return rather than answer the question ("Are you?") and my response to the other line would almost certainly be a question as well - an obviously mock-serious "Really...?"

Ah but when the young lady shows you her underwear what do you do then?
It seems you'd have no choice but to draw your sgian unmentionable or lose face

Well, you can always reply with "nothing is worn under the kilt..." repost, it still fits.

A good retort to either of these would be; "Thank you for your interest in my privates"

I think every time I hear the "you know your not supposed to wear underwear" etc.. it comes from someone in pants. I'll ask them about their kilt, and when the 99% of them admit to not having one, I'll say; "so how do you know if your expertise is limited to pants?"
