Re: Kilts in Scotland (was Scottish Country Dancing VS Scottish Folk Dancing)

At my wedding (18 months ago in Scotland) there were somewhere in the
region of 100 males present at the evening reception.  Of these, I
would say at least 80 of them were in kilts.  Out of these 80, less
than 5 had hired their kilt for the evening. (And before you ask, less
than half of them were dancers).
   
  I know a number of men who wear a kilt rather than a suit to any
  formal occasion (in fact, a number of them don't own a suit).

  While it might not be as common as wearing trousers, it is certainly
  not an unusual occurrence to see people doing every day activities
  in their kilts around my area of Scotland.
