Kilt at South Pole

[The Q]

Mostafa Salameh claims to be a resident of Scotland, which makes putting the kilt on backwards harder for me to understand. Are kilts so rare even in Edinburgh that one would have never seen them worn properly?

Edited to add: Mr. Salameh studied at Edinburgh University, and a quick google image search shows several pictures of students wearing kilts in formal occasions.

The only Kilts normally worn in Edinburgh, are in tartan shops, by half a dozen pipers spread around the city wearing full pipers dress, and the Armed forces marching up and down the Royal Mile to the Castle none of which are likely to be of interest to a student.

If you don't attend formal or informal occasions which provide Alcohol you are unlikely to be with Students wearing Kilts.

Sadly you put up notices and people don't see them, casually just seeing people in the street wearing a Kilt doesn't mean you notice how to put them on...
