The referenced "article" is both prescriptive and authoritative in style, and perhaps it applies universally to the regiments. I have no idea. But, beyond the author's opinion, and perhaps the boundaries of the regiments, it has little, or no applicability.
As you have seen/read, folks wear their kilts and accoutrements in many different ways. No one way is sacrosanct. You are free to follow the "rules/guidelines" in the article if you choose, but other folks may choose differently. To me you seem to have a good sense of Scottish attire already. Just keep on kilting on.
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
