That is generally what the majority in Scotland still think. When I am out and about in my kilt, If any question is asked it is "going somewhere nice" or "off out tonight?"

But a special occasion does not mean just a wedding or Burns night etc. It can be just a meal out or a few drinks in the pub. Many older folk wear their kilts to Sunday church.
It is still the case though that one does not see kilts out and about during the day.

There is the exception when there is a football match on. The tartan army will then be out in force.
