Wearing the kilt in Scotland

[kilttrip]

I have heard many a time and from many different sources that wearing the kilt in Scotland is frowned upon except for attending Games or for special occasions. I have seen lots of pictures however, of men wearing kilts that do not appear to be at any special event, but DO look as though they are in Scotland. These photos show men with or without children (also clad in kilts) standing around in what appear to be village streets. I suppose it's possible that they are coming home from church, but it is a bit confusing. Whatever light you can shine on this issue would be appreciated.
