You may have hit on it there and I can see that point of view. And, if I were trying to dress in a strictly Scottish fashion, I would follow that reasoning with my choices.

However, since in many cases I'm just using the kilt as another article of clothing, it doesn't really bother me. Maybe that's because, as a "new-worlder", I'm pretty well blended myself.
