dry clean ? dip in woolite and drip dry or lay it out flat/ air out

Thank you Calgacus , I appreciate it, the dry cleaners where I live seem to what they are doing, never had a reason to use them until now. But never heard complaints. Will definitely ask if they have a clue about cleaning kilts... thank you ... Angie

The questions to ask would not be about the cleaning, so much as about re-pressing. Most cleaners who do not deal with kilts regularly would likely not be as particular/exacting as required, in the way they might need to be, to press the pleats while preserving a proper "lay" of the pleats to avoid wavey "stage curtain"-like results.

When in doubt, baste-stitch the pleats in place (use at least two rows, spaced about 6 inches apart) before bringing the kilt to the cleaners, and tell them not to press. If the "do not press" note gets lost and they press it anyway, your basting stitches should prevent incorrect results.
