Older brother is a kilt kop
How do I deal with him? He always makes fun of kilts and always tells me that wearing it over my trousers isn’t “how it’s meant to be worn” I don’t care and I don’t care for his dislike of Scottish culture either, I’d appreciate some words to arm myself with so I can wear my kilt around him.

I can't step right into that, but you may be contradicting yourself when you talk about wearing a kilt over trousers and Scottish culture together. Think it through carefully. That may be part of why he's giving you a rough time.

While I certainly advocate for "you do you," your brother is right, that is not how it is meant to be done. If that is what suits you, then you do you. My presentation is more Punk than Highland.
I encourage you to go out kilt only. At first I was nervous, but I love being out and about in my kilt. I would like to eventually burn all my pants. There are threads here talking about going out in a kilt for the first time. I encourage you to check them out.

Your brother is absolutely correct. I would listen to him if I were you.

Before you agree with him, do beware he wants Scotland off the map and would happily burn kilts.
He hates Scotland and it’s not just to do with me wearing a kilt in a manner that I’m comfortable

Your brother is entitled to his thoughts , but what he wants is never going to happen, so no matter what he wants and says it just not going to happen. Trust me, I have heard it all before and from experience very few agree with that train of thought. Am I being complacent? I think not.

And so I have to tell him to keep those thoughts to himself

Well I do quite like some Celtic punk and I’ve been into goth since I was a kid…
As for the last one, I would never wear a kilt with nothing underneath, too dangerous, fat chance, be happy I like kilts to begin with.

I am not sure why you deem it "too dangerous." I am guessing it is concern about the kilt blowing up and revealing your underwear. If that is what it is, you can wear shorts underneath. Bike shorts work well for this. If you are concerned about exposed legs, kilts provide more coverage than most pairs of shorts. Running tights might work for you in either case.

I mean I can thank you for the advice but I’m personally not interested, at the moment anyway, in wearing it in such a way that will make others question what I have underneath…
