Actually he looks like a deer in the headlights.

I do too, for casual wear, but never when formally dressed!!

For the past 55 years, when attending formal functions, I have worn regular black dress shoes because I vowed never to wear GBs. Only very recently, have I invested in a pair of Glenfinnan buckled shoes from Mackenzie-Frain, but, as yet, I've no formal events on my calendar which will give me the opportunity to wear them!! Anyone care to invite me?!!!

I just wear well-polished black Doc Martins. Look absolutely fabulous, darlings! (just joking) Seriously, though, plain black shoes are the best things to wear with a kilt, they don't detract from the look (ghillie brogues look silly, in my humble opinion).

Kilts and guitars are indeed a good pairing. I do however feel that your shirt rather clashes with the colour of your kilt, beserkbishop.
I really hope you don't mind me saying so, but I think such a nice tartan like yours could be more suitably matched with a more complimentary colour of shirt.
