Thanks for the link, quite entertaining read in itself. After rethinking how my kilt fit I think it's more a question of not wanting to hike it up above navel than wanting to wear it low on the knee. I guess when my new (smaller) kilt arrives I'll have to hem it until it fits the way I want to (just below the navel) and see if I can get it right. I've never tried to resize anything as complicated as a kilt (mostly hemming jeans or shirt cuffs) so I'm not confident I'll get it right. Will search for tutorials here or buy a decent kilt making book.

Now on a mission to find a replacement for the horrible sporran chain that came with it. Looks too much like "bling bling" for me.
