When I was up in Dumfries and Hawick I saw many pipe bands. Most, if not all, had 'youth' members (8 - 20 year olds). Most of these youth members wore their kilts too long. They had been issued with a kilt that they would 'grow into'. Might it not be that many of the people that we are seeing today are wearing their kilts longer because they have always worn their kilts longer?
