Not modern, but not great kilt? What's it called? (Albannach's kilts)

Aye, that's the warm weather style. And if you've ever seen them live, you know why they wear them that way.

I don't know that it's exactly the same, but it sure looks like it to my eye. (Just my 2 cents worth- take it for that.)

You are right, Nighthawk. At Grandfather, I asked one of them about it. He shared there is the typical ( I assume smaller in their case) belt that holds it up. Then the other that goes on the outside of plaid.

Ahhh! The beauty of the great kilt. I start the festival with it pinned, or in my case tied up with a leather strap sewn to my leine, and as it heats up I let the material down to cool off. If it rains, just pull it up over my head!

And yes, the lads and lass of Albannach produce so much heat I doubt they ever wear their great kilts any other way than down!

Cheers!
