His kilt pin is way to high. Other than that, it's not a bad presentation.

Nick, did you scroll all the way to the right in that last picture?

I am not going to knock that fellow, but there are things he is doing that I would not. Good on him for being there in a kilt at all! And he seems to be enjoying the event.

fierst fella "judge"- kilt tae lang, baseball cap maks him luek like a numptie....

fella oan richt "wi' walkin stick" - hose colour a bit aff, needs ghillie brogues, but e'ery thing else lueks fine...

I've got to back up P1M on his assessment, here - I think the fellow with the walking stick is actually a better example for daywear than the fellow in the jabot and "Regulation Doublet," which should likely be reserved for formal evening wear.

I'll agree with the most here.
Guy with baseball cap : His kilt seems far too long (Maybe the way he's standing) The shirt colour Ok. The tartan tie not. I like to see ghillies tied to the side. No kilt pin and the fold on his hose serves to hide his flashes
