Has a US President ever been known to don a kilt?

I remember reading that The Armstrong Clan presented Richard Nixon, and Niel Armstrong after the moon landing as they are both members of that clan.

Ah, but is there a picture of Nixon in it?

Thinking more broadly, does anybody know of any photos of ANY world leaders in a kilt?!

Does Prince Charles, or members of the royal family count?

I suppose that as and when Charles becomes king, that'd count!

It'd be nice to think that our Scottish Prime Minister would be seen in a kilt sometimes. As for SNP leader Alex Salmond, here are his thoughts on kilts:

I wonder if that was taken at the time of the G8 meeting at Auchterarder?

The world's leaders should be better informed as to how a pair of ghillie brogues are laced.

I came across this humorous kilted tall tale in my search for a kilted president. I got a good laugh out of it:
