    From the photo, your kilt length looks good to me, MG but, in my opinion, the kilt hose could be pulled up a bit. I wear my kilts to the top of the knee but, not above it and arrange my hose at two to three fingers from the bottom of the knee.

    Sometimes the camera angle affects the view. A camera angle from eye level would be looking down at the selvedge and can actually make it appear lower than the knee. However, you have a knee thrust forward and the selvedge seems to fall at the top of the knee.

    Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.

    Looks good. Maybe worn just a little bit too high, but if it feels right there, keep it there. The top-of-the-knee length is good, even if it should probably not be shorter. The white socks? You haven’t asked; To my opinion they in general look well with dominating red tartans, and with shoes on the impression shall be much better.

    I think it looks great. Not a fan of kilts at the hip like a lot of people do now...

    I wear my kilts with the top buckle either in-line with or slightly above my navel, just below my ribcage. That's where it feels most natural to me.
