Just received this from a friend in Scotland:

"I suspect those comments* are more representative of the position twenty years ago, but the kilt is very much alive and well in Scotland today. For example, the other week I was in the supermarket in Perth and all three of the men shopping in one aisle were wearing the kilt - the fact that it was the booze
aisle was mere happenstance "

So there is hope for a kilted future -- even north of the border!

* about the disappearance of kilts in the homeland.
