When we get down to the minute details for everyday kilt attire, I agree with you. Although, do local people, non pipers, actually wear ghillie brogues with everyday kilt attire? Not in this neck of the woods they dont. It is only when the formality levels rise, by some margin, do the ghillie brogues come out, for some people. Even then they, the ghillie brogue team, would still be in the minority.
