Wearing the kilt in Scotland

[Jock Scot]

So it is fair to say that in Scotland they wear a kilt just as American's do so, at special events, formal afairs, events, etc but not as a regular everyday practice?

That is pretty much how it is today. There are exceptions of course. I think-------and this is a point that many outwith Scotland appear to miss------ since Victorian times and perhaps earlier too, that this is always how its been in Scotland as a whole and in the Highlands in particular.
