    Dump her!

    Dump the girlfriend. Her family is hostile. It is not about the kilt it is about their ability to manipulate you. By the time I was in first grade I chose what clothes to wear, so should you. You are being insulted. Without the support of both families you are unlikely to have a long happy life togather. I can promise you this that the potential mother-in-law will do everything in her power to break you up. The hassle is not worth it.

    Dump the girlfriend find someone else.

    Quite possible... I have a cousin that married a woman with a manipulative mother... marriage started downhill after the first year despite a distance of a thousand miles from home.

    I don't know that I'd go that far - yet.

    However, I will say this:

    At the tender age of 17, you've got far more troubles in your life than dealing with a woman who may or may not eventually become your mother-in-law.

    Deal with those more important issues (the primaries near the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs) first, and then worry about the future mother-in-law.

    I too would say wait few years to get married. Marriage is, or should be, a life long commitment.
