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?
Hamish,

Sorry for the misquote! Thanks for clearing that up.

Yes, I was referring to those who wore their kilts way below their knees, and there was at least one guy that had his kilt a good 3-4" above the top of his kneecap. Maybe some guys are embarrased about their knees, while others are much too proud of their thighs! Or, maybe I'm just a traditionalist totalitarian, ready to punish those with kilt lengths I deem improper!!
