there is a difference between the great kilt and the small kilt,it's true that queen victoria did make it more popular(the small kilt), in England as well as in Scotland.
most scots don't like the rawlinson story and say it's crap, truth is noone knows for sure,noone bothered to write a book about it at the time it was evolving.English people have been wearing kilts for a long time, see photo's of kings and princes.
the black watch was a highland regiment, formed by the british army.
also a lots of people born in scotland would not ever be seen dead in a kilt,it's more of a highlander thing, something for the poor people.
not the city folk.
the kilt is not just a scottish thing, and the fact is, it does not matter, just enjoy wearing it, weather it be a trad 16oz 8 yrd kilt, or a more modern utilikilt.
