Cover of CAA Magazine
The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) has this as their cover this quarter:
The article is pretty banal and the only other kilt picture is Howie Nicholsby in a utilikilt that doesn't show up well in the photo.
Thought you'd be interested though, in the cover photo.

That cover photo is a perfect example of how not to put together an outfit.
What's above the waist is completely non-integrated with what's below the waist, almost as if the photo pieced together.

Yeah, Richard, my eyes sort of crossed when I looked at it. The 'plaid' shirt with check jacket is a bit of an odd choice, as is the overall brightness of the jacket and matching hat. And of course, that jacket is way too long to wear with a kilt, and was most likely taken from a complete suit or some such (perhaps a hunting outfit, given the deerstalker type hat?).
From the kilt down, though, it's not bad.

It appears, at least to my eyes, the the flashes he’s wearing are of another tartan entirely. I detect some reddish colour just beneath the cuff.

Being a man is a matter of maturity,

Here are nicely integrated country outfits with kilts
(Many of the nicest vintage images of men in Highland Dress come from that same studio.)

The Cover Picture.
Well theoretically, I cannot disagree with you. Nevertheless the gentleman's attire choices(Estate tweed I wonder?) and the like, although not all that common, would not raise an eyebrow in the rural Highlands.
