We use great kilts as a theatrical concept to make the highland scots look "scottish" and distinguish them from the Irish or the English. I've tried to discourage the noble Scots from wearing tartans, but the also want to not look English, so they wear kilts and arasaids as well. Those who actually are Scots have come to expect this, and see it as a matter of national or clan pride. So for theatrical reasons it stays, even tho we know better.
