We all have to remember that Tartan Day is a pretty recent development in the US, again as compared to St. Patrick's Day. It takes a while to establish traditions of celebration.
In all honesty, Tartan Day may always be a minor holiday, primarily clebrated by those who are heavy into all things Scottish. Then again, it may one day rise to the same level as St. Patrick's Day, though I doubt it will get any bigger than that.
Many people don't even know the day exists. And for those who do, most think that to get kilted requires you to go out and buy a $400-$500 traditional kilt, and a lot of people just aren't going to do that.
