Wearing the Kilt in Scotland

[ThistleDown]

Lots of tourists wear the kilt in Scotland. Lots of natives wear the kilt for special occasions (weddings, drinks-events, and the like). Lots of Highland Scots wear the kilt more often. You probably won't be where they are because Highlanders are not out there visiting historic sites such as Culloden, unless they work there. In the years that I worked at Culloden I was always kilted. You will see very few in either Highland or Lowland cities unless they are Highland outfitters or tourists. But...ignore all the naysayers and wear your kilt for those special occasions you refer to and, if you wish, wear it any other time, too. Just take care how you wear it, it is our national dress and there are proper and improper ways.
