I'll pass on the cookies, and just take some whisky instead!

I'll have your cookies, and you can have my whisky, 'cause I can't drink, y'know.

They look kind of like moggans... vaguely... but I've never seen those worn with a modern kilt.

Those are SUPPOSED to be cadadh. He looks like he is TRYING to be "old-school" but is mis-informed on what is "period" and what is not. (IF you don't know,the "wheels" are OUT)
I think we should unleash Mr. Newsome for some friendly help and advise.

He made the cadadh out of ??????? and cut the feet out (or busted them???), more like moggans.
A front shot off the wheeled scooter (which didn't work exactly as predicted, did they), might look better than the shot presented.

THAT is also the reason I DON'T like red/white cadadh. (though there is plenty of evidence for wide spread usage)

I've also seen cadadh worn with modern kilts that look GREAT!
(And I am thinking of making some myself). I HOPE mine will look better than those (they WILL at least go over the feet).

If you look closely, you can see that they are tied scarves or table napkins.

DALE.

Thanks, Dale -

That was my impression, but I wasn't sure what they were SUPPOSED to be! (Or if my feeble eyes were playing tricks on me.)

Perhaps (as suggested by Caradoc) they're supposed to be moggans, which I thought were to serve a gaiter-like function? (Anyone who knows please feel free to correct me!)

I think they are supposed to represent cadadh or "bag hose", however obviously without the foot part. Guessing he was going for the "look at first glance" instead of functional woven diced hose. I think your right though, looks like a combo of modern and old garb.
