The kilt may not be back-to-front, but rather pleated all around, a style which would not be out of place in the 17-century Scottish Highlands.
Then again, given the way the plaid hangs (up the chest, over the shoulder, and down the back, similar to the Braveheart "great kilt"), I suppose there is a good case to be made that it is back-to-front.

Pleated around the entire circumference is/was correct for belted plaids (and even for the earliest "little" kilts). Or, perhaps you'd like to challenge Lord George Murray on the practice?

Gesh, after I modeled for the avatar, you think they could have gotten it right?
Oh well, at least they got my body correct.

That is what I was thinking - pleated all the way around
