I've been given to understand from my Morrison, Brieve and Gilmore cousins that Outer Hebrideans are not typically kilt wearing folk. Haven't been there yet myself though, so I can't say from first hand experience, but it isn't surprising.

One way or the other, it's no matter. When we finally do visit, I think we'll be more focused on how welcoming the locals are than what they wear. And come to think of it, ironically perhaps, Lewis would probably be the last place I would wear a kilt casually (formally is another matter altogether).

I'll let you know after we visit.
