To your point, Phil, I'm a US citizen. Taking my daily walk this week at a local park, I ran into a group of children (1st through 3rd graders) that attend a day camp put on by the local parks and recreation department. As I passed the pavilion, I heard a young man shout loudly, "Look, there's a dude from Scotland!"

Well, my great,great,great,great grandfather was born in Scotland. However, he was a lowlander, and most likely never wore a kilt.

Still, It is rather unfortunate that more men in Scotland (and other countries) do not consider the kilt as a viable alternative to pants as daily attire. I certainly consider them to be the most practical, comfortable piece of clothing I've ever worn. If I remember correctly, there was something in another thread some time back about some of the younger men in Scotland adopting kilts as casual attire - T-shirts and boots. Perhaps the younger generations will revitalize kilt wearing as daily attire.
