I would remind people that what a Highlander would have worn while hunting in the 16th-17th century has no bearing on the rules and etiquette of proper modren Scottish attire, nor should it. Otherwise we end up surrounded by people dressed as "cartoon" Highlanders wearing all the latest fashions found on the newest bog body to be dug up.

Without wishing to pee on anyone's ghillie brogues, I'd suggest that 'enforced' etiquette (outside of 'dress' occasions of course) is exactly why most people who have considered kilts don't wear them 
Speaking from personal experience, the realisation that a kilt can be worn without ruffles and a PC jacket was a revelation for me and led directly to my recent first kilt purchase.
