Being Greek, Scot, and Welsh, I have a wide variety of kilts to choose from.
The Scot ancestry is Clan MacLeod.
Irish, too. Nik O'Frangiskatos.

The pipes certainly stir me!
My great grandmother was a Stewart from Maryland. Family legend says the Stewarts/Stuarts were given an option in the 1600s: the Tower of London or a shipboard ride to the colony of Mary Land. The smart ones said, "Where's the boat!!??"
Your motorcycle helmet is long past due for a set of Viking horns.
I think those 'leotards' were called trews in Scotland.
If you'e a civilian, you can wear anything you want. If you're in a Scottish regiment, by regulation nothing is worn under the kilt. The only exception is certain guard positions at Edinbough Castle, which is up in the air and there's plenty of cold wind in the winter. Some soldier suffered from frostbite in private parts, so they're authorizd to wear underwear, probably wool and plenty scratchy, but warm.

Yeah, even though the real Vikings didn't wear horned helmets.
Both of my parents are from Glasgow. There's a picture of me somewhere with a kilt on at a wedding when I was three or four years old.
I didn't have any say at the time. I disown being Scottish ever since they let that airplane bomber out of prison for "compassionate" reasons.

I'm from Scotland and been living in the States about 7 years. I have a Kilt and have worn it to a couple of weddings here. I'm half Italian with an Italian name so no clan tartan for me. I do however have a beautiful kilt in Douglas tartan.
I wondered how long it would take until someone referenced the plastic claymore. REAL claymores require up close and personal.
Trust me : The plastic ones are REAL enough

My middle name is Wallace in honor of my father's maternal side of the family. I wear the clan tie, but no kilt.

Clan Keith on my dads side. My mothers side were mainly
English.. Her grandfather was born in Southampton..
Clan Keith had a long running feud with Clan Gunn, but they
finally made up a few years back...
Several were Marischals of Scotland, and Earls Marischal.
In the 1600's, they hid the Scottish regalia at Dunnottar castle, as
it was about the only place left still under royal flag. They had the
Earl Marischal locked up in the tower of London shortly after that
where they held him about ten years.

There is a modern Clan Keith tartan, and an antique.
I've never worn a kilt though..

A proud Gordon here... but I stick with my Lee jeans.
Had the opportunity to work in Scotland for four years and enjoyed a number of kilted events which were a lot of fun.
Learned to love the taste of a single malt but never graduated to the haggis.

Clan of MacBeth, sept of Beaton, and I regularly awaken my neighbors with something played on my bagpipes...usually Scotland the Brave or Amazing Grace.
Don't know if I have male ancestors who wore dresses or not,(jk y'all) But, when I was stationed in North Bay, Ontario, the General Officer I worked for arranged for the pipers of CFB North Bay to "pipe me on" to the base, so as I walked down the ramp of of the C-130 to take command of the Squadron, I was met by 10 pipers playing Dixie! What a treat for this Alabama boy!
The Canadian Air Force's band's practice field was located next to my BOQ and my room was on the corner overlooking the field. On Saturday mornings there was a complete dress rehearsal for whatever gig they were playing that weekend. I have always been a bagpipe fan and it was great to be awakened by Scotland the Brave and Amazing Grace. Over time, I became very good friends with the band leader. In time I noticed that as the pipers left practice for the morning and marched off the practice field, the strains of Dixie filled the air. A very much appreciated gesture.

No Scots blood (pure English descent even to having some sort of peerage title I inherited) but I have a kilt for Renfaires (lay it out and roll up in it).
Young woman to man in kilt: "Excuse me, but I'm curious. Is anything worn under your kilt?"
Man in kilt: "No miss, everything is in perfect working order."
