It's interesting to see that ankle boots were often worn with the Kilt back in the day. Presumably that's because they were the style of the time and those were the boots they had.

In The Highlanders Of Scotland the 56 kilted figures are wearing the following footwear:

25 Mary Jane style
11 Ghillie style (only one pair black, it with buckles)
10 ordinary shoes (what I would call an "Oxford")
5 buckle loafers
3 ankle boots
1 spats
1 unique shoe halfway between a Mary Jane and a Ghillie

One cool thing about the Inverurie photo above is that it was taken at the same time that The Highlanders Of Scotland portraits were painted and it shows exactly the same sorts of things being worn, difficult to explain away by the people today who claim that the dress shown in The Highlanders Of Scotland was fictional.

Mmmmm... three out of fifty six you say.

It's interesting to see that ankle boots were... sometimes worn with the Kilt back in the day.
