Yes, I must agree with James. I never saw anything except traditional kilts in Scotland. My own interest in the kilt is has grown out of a serious interest in my Scottish ancestry (not the other way around). I am certain that the same holds true for a number of us; thus, I would have to agree with you. I think the more modern kilts would be seen as very different in Scotland than the traditional tartan kilts. You do see the younger people in traditional tartan kilts (worn with boots, t-shirts, sweaters, etc.), but I have never, in all my travels throughout Scotland, seen the more modern variations.
