As a kilt wearer here in Ireland I have yet to see anyone outside of Bands, Dance Groups or Irish Regiments wearing either the Amber or Green kilts associated with Ireland. I wear my amber kilt as part of my Scout Uniform at formal parades and activities. I am one of very few who do. I do wear it on St Patricks Day when I attend the parade in Down Patrick. There is not a true tradition of kilt wearing on a day to day basis and in the past it would not have been common except possibilly among the Ulster Scots. Its like so many of these 'Traditions' etc. they are started usually by one or two people as a desire to be different or associate with greater group IE the Celts. In the end as has been said before a kilt is a peice of clothing not a peice of uniform of special event wear it is just a long peice of cloth. Having now moved into the world TFCK I now realize that we need to kill off some of these associations if we want people to take kilt wearing as an option to the dreaded trews.
