There is one thing which you really need to consider if you make a Kingussie kilt, the back will fly up even more easily than an ordinary knife pleated kilt, so you might consider putting a strip of the small weights used in net curtains, or a few coins perhaps, into that back pleat. Another option would be a strip of elastic a few inches from the lower edge to hold the inside edges of the pleats together.
It would be just the right costume for a swashbuckling Scottish Puss in Boots as it would accommodate a tail really well - but for those without tails I'd recommend a heavy weight worsted wool or perhaps a thick corduroy or canvas material plus other safety options or that back pleat will be tapping you on your shoulder to get your attention.
The spelling 'Kinguisse' is on one of the websites, I thought at first it might have been me - I can reverse letters in almost anything, and its even worse with numbers.
