When looking at the pics, I noticed that having the length off on a kilt can make it look really wrong.

Hmmmn. Not quite, Rufus.
I have never (unfortunately) met Alastair. It was Hamish Clark (Duncan in "Monarch") who told me of Alastair's dislike of kilt-wearing. In "Dressed to Kilt" in NYC he was doing so to help raise funds for Charity.
By "having the length off on a kilt", I assume you are referring to those attending that event who had their kilts well below their knees! With due respect to my American brothers here present, I am afraid it is a fairly well-known fact over here that Americans, in general, do like to wear their kilts far longer than any Scot would - and they wear their kilt hose higher too! Are your fellows over there ashamed of their knees, or what?
