I think you are meaning that Chris is pointing out that the kilt is not often worn to funerals in Scotland, he is quite correct. It is perhaps more common(still not that common) in the Highlands, the home of the kilt, which is also an area where the least number of people live. The lowland Scots, the largest majority, are not and never have been kilt wearers by tradition.Wearing the kilt to a funeral in Scotland is therefore not common.
I agree with both Chris and Jock, that the wearing of a kilt to a funeral in Scotland is not common. It is however, what I normally wear to a family funeral, and I have never had any comments either positive or negative - it has simply been accepted that that is what I wear. Personally I choose a white shirt & black tie and try to be understated and not to stand out too much. For a funeral where I am simply one of the congregation & not particularly known by the family I have worn a suit in order to avoid the risk of offending.
