some men seem not to get the manliness from the kilt from itself.
but have to show it in physical power action.

maybe only by then, when they showed to the public how manly they are, they dare wearing it without mud.

i see the highland games outside of scotland mainly as an opportunity to wear the kilt publically and without having to fear any comments.

because we had in austria for exemple before similar games, but without conections to scotland and kilt. so may be a show for a beginning movement.
