Your light blue shirt looks great, and it is always a first class choice. Likewise there is no reason to eschew button down collars if you like them-- which I do. That said, after six pm, or at a formal day time event, I'd go with a white shirt and a spread collar. (This, by the way, is my favorite look of the bunch.)

However, when paired with the right tie (the yellow one) and hose (either pair of the ones you are wearing) this French Blue shirt looks the biz. I think that's because it's "bright" not dark, and generally conveys a more self-confident image... which is what style is all about.
All in all I think you've really got the hang of what to wear with your kilt, as well have having all the right things to go with it-- starting with the right attitude!
