This is a very good suggestion.
There was a Highland saying that if you met a man in a kilt you knew that his language was Gaelic. Well the same policy that proscribed the kilt was also used to suppress the language. Pity we can't campaign for the revival of Gaelic in Scotland.
However, following on from Dave's suggestion, next year, 2006, will be the 260th anniversary of the Act of Proscription - perhaps we could start campaigning now for a BIg Commemoration (and defiance) among Scots and kilt-wearers world-wide. That would raise the public's awareness of the kilt even more, wouldn't it?
