Scottish Kilts Chronology: The 2000s

HBC has noted no significant change in Scotland as to the wearing of kilts in the 2000s. They are still commonly worn for dress uniforms at private schools. Scouts continue to swear them. They are still worn at formal weddings, by ring bearers, ushers, bridegromes, and some guests. Highland dancing and pipe bands still use kilts. This appears to have an important element of scocial class. Boys going to private school or even in the Scouts tend to be of either affluent or at least middle class families as is the case for people having formal weddings.
