What boots for a Highlander?

Those are the ones! Generally speaking (other than on this forum) I don't think you'd find too many people wearing wellies and a kilt. If you are going to do it, I'd suggest you stick with the traditional green. The visual image of hot pink wellies just sends a shiver down my spine...

Personally, I don't think rubber boots go with kilts any more than ponchos do... Although, proper 19th century English LEATHER Wellingtons (or a modern facsimile thereof) might be fine... I used to wear them when I portrayed an Infantry Pioneer as a member of the Fort Henry Guard.

It seems that turning down one's hose and eschewing garters whilst wearing boots seems to be a popular convention. That's good to know.

Rubber boots don't "have to go" with the kilt. If it's muddy, or very wet, then wear wellies.

Common sense.

Quite true! But, I think I was thinking more about 'away-from-home'... If the weather was wet and I wanted work in the garden or go hiking on the family acreage, in my kilt, of course I would wear rubber boots, regardless of what people might think... Of course, from the same pragmatic perspective, if I wanted to go hiking in the rain, and it wasn't too cold, I might not wear anything.

Pink? Pink? Well, what’s wrong with pink?

I am not trying to be cleaver, or contentious, but as the young lady is wearing a skirt, then pink wellies are just fine.
