As a Scot,can I confirm that the kilt is rarely seen as "every day"wear,weddings,funerals,highland games and formal dinners would be the "norm".I as am a member of the "older generation"(not old)and from a somewhat traditional background,I find the wearing of many tartans difficult to comprehend.I wear my clan tartan proudly and that is fine for me,and I think many resident Scots of all generations would adhere to that convention.You colonials(no offence intended)have a happy knack of adjusting conventions to suit yourselves and quite right too!I also think that there are some of you colonials(sorry)who get very hot under the collar over what is correct,yes and some Scots too,but on the whole, wear what you are happy with seems pretty sensible to me.
