First of all, I think that all of your outfits work, with the exception of the t-shirt look, something that to me always looks "unfinished". I think t-shirts, polo shirts, and rugby shirts look better if they are loose fitting, and bloused at the waist.

Okay, aside from the size issue this looks good. Were it I, I'd have worn this over a shirt with the collar showing at the neck. I'd turn back the cuffs and blouse the sweater at the waist. I'd also drop the sporran a couple of notches.

You made the right call when you said you thought the claret shirt was a bit too much with this kilt. (Claret hose, however, might tone things down a bit, so I wouldn't throw out the shirt, just yet. ) Really strong colours tend to visually distract from this tartan, unless mostly covered with a jacket or waistcoat. The yellow tie was a smart choice.

Both the shirt and tie work well with this kilt. Something you may want to consider, however, is how this shirt will work if worn with a jacket. I think it would probably be fine with a linen jacket (or some other light coloured fabric), but it may be too dark to wear with tweeds and dark woolens, especially with a brightly coloured tie, such as you have on here.
