Awaiting my first tartan kilt!

[OC Richard]

Personally, I would call boots worn with the kilt as a more of historical thing... I don't think boots worn with the kilt could really be described as "traditional" civilian kilt attire.

Yes I agree fully, in line with how I've always defined the term "traditional".

I was using the term loosely. I should, perhaps, been more accurate and said "formerly traditional".

You never know. Things go in and out of fashion in the tradition, which is determined by usage. Perhaps boots are making, or will make, a comeback.
