[QUOTE=Tobus;939560This being a United Nations ball, you may run into actual Scotsmen there. Do them proud, and wear the kilt according to their tradition! And besides, people from all other nations who are present will likely recognize the kilt more readily in its original context.[/QUOTE]

I agree. What you describe sounds like a great looking outfit, and not one to understand black vs. white tie all that well myself...However at a UN Ball, I would definitely go with a Tartan Kilt and everything else you describe.
