Thanks for the welcome and quick replies, you've really helped

I feel a little stupid asking but are kilted skirts for women rather than men?

Exactly, a kilted skirt is a woman's garment, a kilt is a man's garment.

@ McMurdo and M.A. C. Newsome: To help those of us who may not know, what exactly from the photos told you they were skirts and not kilts?

I thought they might be skirts from the length, but I wouldn't have been able to make a definate statement to that fact.

Thanks,

Kent

Firstly the length is a giveaway, also the straps are the type that are commonly used on a kilted skirt, I've never seen a kilt with straps like that, but every kilted skirt I've ever seen from a shop like Hector Russell has those straps. Thirdly I have a kilt from Hector Russell and can say with certainty that the straps from one of their kilts are thicker than these.
