The real question is whether a choice would blend in with the locals and demonstrate your knowledge of the particular shibboleths of the customs or whether the choice would single you out as somehow other than the norm.
The reason I usually wore trousers while in Scotland... the best way to blend in with the locals.

Some years back there was a fashion for Argyll socks with Saxon clothing, I do wonder if they went out of fashion for the Kilted folk a the same time as they did for Saxon clothing. However a quick scan on the internet seems to show Argylls are still easily available for Saxons http://www.next.co.uk/x554510s8?i=9-...FYuWtAodTjsADQ
It's a pity they are too short for us.

I wear argyle socks with Saxon dress at least once if not twice a week, but then I am a bit eccentric.

In the 1940s and early 1950s I always wore argyle socks. They were what all the young boys wore in those days. It wasn't until I joined the Navy that I started to wear plain black socks.
I would wear them again if I could find then in any of the stores.
