I've always worn my kilts at the top of my knee. (Although now that I have lost weight they do tend to slip to mid knee if I don't have a belt on.)
When I'm in the Lowlands I find people tell me my kilt is too long.
When I'm the Highlands I often get told my kilt is either just perfect or too short.
I wear my hose to about 2 inches beneath my kneecap. I feel they are just more comfortable and look better that way.
(And my fiance often tells me all the men she knows wear their kilt hose to the crease at the back of their knee and asks why I wear mine so short.)

What on earth do I do?
