I've been noticing the frequency at which I see individuals dressed in their full great kilts has been occuring less and less often.

The only time I ever really see someone wearing a great kilt like this



is at a highland games, and "normally" the person looks nowhere near as good as Liam in Rob Roy. At least here in Arizona the few that I've met typically do a poor job at wearing the great kilt properly. It may be different in other places around the world, but I only have my local environment to base my opinion off of.

I believe the reduced frequency is probably directly linked to the extra effort that someone has to put into wearing a great kilt, plus in places like Arizona (where I live) it gets pretty hot, and all that extra fabric is a heat stroke waiting to happen.

Do any of you regularly see anyone wearing a great kilt out in public? Do you consider the great kilt more of a costume than the regular kilts we all tend to wear? If so why?

Are there special occasions when a Great Kilt "should" be worn?

I'm interested in everyone's opinions on this. Please do share your thoughts, and any answers that you may have to my questions as well.
