To be perfectly honest, and with no offense intended to Panache who started this thread, I think this thread is a bit of a waste of pixels... There are very few costumes, in my opinion, that incorporate a kilt into it (without using the kilt AS a costume), the way Panache illustrated (beautifully, I might add). There were a few sparse examples sprinkled through the first couple pages. but since then, I've seen very little (read: nothing) in 9 pages that makes this thread anything even remotely close to what teh OP was intending... All I see are multi-page discussions on the historicity of the holiday and how people celebrate it, while all interesting, contribute absolutely nothing to the intent of this thread.
While I would personally LOVE to contribute to this thread other than whining, believe me, my mind is drawing a complete blank in trying to think up costumes that might incorporate a kilt the way Jamie did, without it being a costume piece... The reason why Jamie's costume works so well is because we can imagine a Scottish butterfly collector, and whether he were wearing pants or a kilt, the effect would have worked equally well, IMO.

There was a person last year who mentioned a costume of a demon/devil with a kilt and the tail coming down from under the kilt. Now that would be something to see.

That would be cool, and my kilt is just the right color. I may have to "call in sick" for Halloween...
If you want to be mad, be such only for his mistake of mentioning part of the religion behind it, not for expressing something that is true, and unpopular to certain people.
Actually, the mentioning of the religion part was what made me mad. The truth or falsehood of his statement is not something you should bring up, nor should we debate, as this is a topic that concerns religious traditions.

You really need to find better things to get upset by. Some here are better than others dealing with the R issues. Look at the trouble we went through on one thread to not blurt out what PPD was. But all in all, still not worth getting angry over.
