After about 10 minutes it was about 1:4. Almost all were wearing their kilt on their hips, like a pair of pants.
This pic was taken at the same event as the one I posted above. I'd call this "gangsta style". I got the impression that the kilt was likely made properly to his measurements, but that no one ever told him how to wear it. (Got a side shot too: No dirk belt, and wee sporran on a chain.) As he was with his girlfriend, I made no attempt to enlighten him -- would've been rude.
