    If you'll just put aside historical reasons and take a look at modern picture, it appears to be that the kilt became instrument of distinguishing from the mass and people in general are chicken(that is the reason why not many wearing it in Scotland, I'm apologize if hurt any one by such statement), so they follow the main stream and wearing jeans. But the big question is - Do you want kilt to become the main stream? Do you really want it to be as grounded and worn by millions as jeans? Don't get me wrong I'm not after any restrictions We have enough of thous already, but just imagine that every single men wears kilt, and if U want it different, here - have your own tartan. Ones more I'm not talking about "right for kilt" that's BS in my opinion, just picture it.

    And by the way eastern indians wearing national dress, in Toronto some indian cops wearing turbans as part of uniform alteration, how about that?

    Wearing the turban is a religious requirement of the Sikh faith, much like the wearing of a yamulke by conservative and orthodox Jews. It has little or nothing to do with national dress, and everything to do with religious observance.
