On the day we celebrate our ancestors, it is customary to dress as they did. So for me, the kilt does in fact become part of a costume- the customary dress (albeit stylized and tainted with my modern perception) of my ancestors. So there is that angle to consider when looking at the kilt as a costume issue.
I do like the thought of making the kilt a costume "for one night only" plus i could use that as a cover for my first attempt at a kilted outing
