And Woodsheal, I would go as far as to say a very small part of "our part".
I, for one, have never understood the Kilt Crusader mind set. I have absolutely no investment in whether or not anyone else wears a kilt, leave alone how often someone wears one. I wear the kilt to individuate, and celebrate, a part of my family history that has been homogenized by our society into a color grouping, White. By modeling one of the hundreds of cultures that share my skin pigmentation, I stand up for my cultural uniqueness, and against a label based on color. By wearing the kilt, I hope to encourage, and validate, others who would like to also individuate and celebrate their uniqueness. But, for me, there is a difference between modeling and crusading.
So, in response to the OPs statement or question 'Why you don't see Scots wearing their kilts often" I would have to say "Apparently they don't want to" 
Cheers!
