I'll try to put this in a short statement. The kilt has a tendency to become the focus very easily. Since you are seeking to get into this "circle" in a professional way eventually, I think minimizing the distractions on the first night would help you engage in some professional conversations tonight and make a few contacts to build on tomorrow and next weekend. Tomorrow night and the rest of the time, I say absolutely wear the kilt if you choose. They will have already meet you and not be distracted as much by the kilt.
Good advice IMHO.
