I am not sure it is correct to make such a sweeping generalisation, Jock. My wife's grandfather fought, kilted, at Gallipoli and the Somme with the KOSB. From what he said, however, the thing just soaked up water in the trenches and became very heavy and uncomfortable to wear. Not at all practical for the conditions and he would have much preferred trousers. I would agree, however, that kilt-wearing on a regular basis has not been commonplace in the lowlands. Many scouts wore the kilt when I was younger but it was less usual then to wear it to weddings and social gatherings. So saying, I have not noticed many, in fact I cannot recall having seen any kilted in the highlands either. You are obviously the rare exception in that respect.
