After my fourth great Grandfather excaped the Hanover King when the battle of Culloden was lost in 1746 he came to Virginia. He had been an officer in a highland regiment from Glengarry, his father was killed in '46 at Culloden. Anyway, I have no information regarding his wearing of a kilt after he reached Virginia, that doesn't mean that he didn't, just it hasn't been mentioned in any writings about him.
I think that people have a tendency to wear what is the custom of whatever place they are in. There are millions of people of Scottish decent in this great country and I personally would like to see them all wearing the kilt.
