Tobus. You raise some interesting points and you ask some relevent questions, none of which, could anyone take umbridge with. I think many visitors are expecting too much when they visit here. The kilt was solely Highland Scots attire, the lowland Scots were, until very recently, non kilt wearers. In fact they were exceedingly vociforous with their scorn of the Highlanders and their kilts. Not only that, but the poulation of the Highlands has always been considerably smaller than the lowlands. Therefore everday kilt wearing is hardly likely to be everyday wear in Scotland as a whole. Now why is the kilt not worn more in the Highlands?In truth I am not sure, but most certainly a lot of it is down to the fact, unpalatable to some, that these days there are better options available to life in the modern world that we live in, than the kilt. To those with clan connections world wide of course they may wish to keep those connections, I was just wondering as time goes by if those connections will dilute. It seems as though some of us think they might. Who knows?
