US President in a kilt

Does Prince Charles, or members of the royal family count?

I suppose that as and when Charles becomes king, that'd count!

It'd be nice to think that our Scottish Prime Minister would be seen in a kilt sometimes. As for SNP leader Alex Salmond, here are his thoughts on kilts:

The world's leaders should be better informed as to how a pair of ghillie brogues are laced.

Perhaps his grandparents might have a Kenyan tartan.

Alex Salmond occasionally wears a kilt... that article i' dated 1999...

he has become wiser o'er the years...

Douglas Hyde the first President of Ireland was a keen Kilt wearer.
It's hard to find any pictures though on the Internet, I shall continue trying.

Indeed. Saffron kilts, I believe.

But the photos of Alex Salmond kilted are in New York, not Scotland!

After the last election there were articles stating that President Obama should wear a kilt because of that side of his ancestry should he visit Scotland so we will have to keep a watch on that possibility!
