I agree with you youngkiltman and also with woodsman. I wear kilts nowadays a lot of the time and find that the fact that its my kilt means I'm more aware of the possibility of spilling something on it, which of course just makes it all the more likely to happen. I havnt had any real disasters as yet but did once spill some coffee on one of my kilts in a restaurant in Edinburgh.
The other thing I find is that the kilt apron while sitting is a wider area theres a greater chance of something falling on it. I tend to just keep my knees as far under the table as is comfy and eat carefully. Usually works and stops the Mrs getting in a lather if I do end up with a stain on it.
