As to the sporran, had he been playing the pipes or drums?

Or perhaps dancing.

Or maybe the sporran has a mind of its own!

It appears to be a member of the fair sex. Kilt closing on the left, posture, profile....

Yep, I think you are right. BTW, at the the Triad games in Greensboro, NC this past May there was a Lass competing in the heavy athletics. Did very well too, beating many of the men. Only thing she couldn't do was turn the caber. Of course a lot of the men couldn't either!

weel...
ya may get awa' wi' cooboy boots an a cooboy hat wi' a kilt in Texas...
but in Scotland that is a DINNAE!

Dinnae wear yur kilt back tae front!
If she's the Scottish one, I give him an "A" for effort. The president of our local Highland Games allowed his son-in-law to show up at the Burns Supper with his kilt turned around while the president was sporting plain black trews. I tipped off the son-in-law before anyone really even noticed though it was a hard thing to miss.

Kilt too high, sporran too low: You missed the point: He didn't run his sporran strap through his belt loops and he probably forgot to readjust after a visit to the WC. It's obvious from the height of the socks, that he got the kilt when he was a kid and has almost outgrown it. T-shirt, white knee socks, work boots with a kilt and a leather sporran work for most of the teens at our games.
Cowboy boots: POLISH the boots! Ditch the flashes, pull the socks all the way up, snap the sporran closed and raise it an inch, brush the hat, and ditch the neck ribbon.

[emphasis mine]
In that picture I don't think his socks are too low. Do you mean he should pull them all the way to the knee? I find that would look ridiculous, as there'd be not much space at all between hose and kilt.

You know, just as a side point...
Many have answered my first point that higher boots are okay, but many have crapped on the cowboy. My thoughts, boots okay, but yes, lose the flashes. The most important thing is, he is wearing a good kilt with mostly good fashion sense; just a western flair on it. Hey, us cowboys always modify things to work for us becuase we can't afford to buy alot of new things!
