As a frequent visitor to Scotland, I can only go by what I see every year. I always go in March, so it isn't a "tourist" season. Last year I saw a few kilts, but they are worn casually mostly by younger men (20 somethings). What another member said about Rugby days is very true. I was in Edinburgh about three or four weeks ago for the Scotland/Wales rugby game and saw LOTS of guys in kilts (Scotland lost ).

Having said that, I noticed only one or two older men wearing kilts on the street.

I have spent some time on my own in the Highlands; however, I have not noticed any kilts. Ironic, isn't it? Kilts in the Lowlands... not in the Highlands. Go figure.

Another thing that I noticed for the first time this year is that the younger tour guides at the castles are wearing kilts; the older men wear the trews. It has only been recently that guides have been allowed to wear the kilt, or so I understand.

So, these are just the observations of a frequent visitor to the "Mother Country." I am certain that someone who lives there might have a different view.
