This weekend I attended the Virginia Scottish Games and while sitting at my clan tent began to notice that a lot of men wore their kilts below the knee. As I sat there I began to count: those who wore it just covering the knee or above, and those who wore it below the knee (I didn't count bandsmen, those in sport-kilts, or young boys). After about 10 minutes it was about 1:4. Almost all were wearing their kilt on their hips, like a pair of pants.
I noticed at the VA Scottish Games that most of the gathering of the Rabble (thanks for the Scotch, Ern!) wore our kilts at about the top of the knee. Haven't seen the pics yet.
