And are kilts only a military form of dress there? I don't understand that comment at all.

Plus, isn't the Queen supposed to be the one doing this? Again, this is all reaaally foreign to me.
But, as Sanford explained, the Royal Navy is the "senior service" to the British Army. Custom and protocol would dictate the wearing of an RN uniform over the uniform of a Scottish Regiment.
