This is actually what I have done with longer jumpers. I simply "cuff" the bottom hem up and under itself. This gives you a bit of flexibility as to total length and the appearance. Many jumper fabrics will smooth out with the tuck.

The actual term is 'blousing' but people get so intensely up tight about terms these days I hesitate to use my full vocabulary.

At the risk, of "stirring up a hornets nest" which is absolutely not what I want to do! But it depends a lot if your kilt is a traditional one where it is cut to be worn higher over the hips, or the modern kilt style which is worn much lower on the hip.
