Da gibt es Leute, die sehen das ganz anders, sonst wären diese Herren hier nicht so aufgebracht:

Weitere Vertreter des alten Brauches sagen:
nverness-based kilt maker Ian Chisholm, a spokesman for the Scottish Kilt Makers' Association, said: "The tradition of no underwear being worn was a stipulation of Scottish military regulation."To say it is unhygienic is wrong. The freedom of movement is healthy. We always tell customers to wear nothing under the kilt if everything is in good working order."
Former Formula One racing driver David Coulthard, 39, of Twynholm, Kirkcudbrightshire, said: "Kilts are from the past and so is the tradition of not wearing any underwear. I'm proud to be a true Scotsman. It's a tradition that should be left alone."I have about five kilts. Ten years ago, I even registered my own Coulthard tartan because Coulthard is an English name, sadly."I've been wearing kilts since I was a little boy and will continue to wear my kilts in the time-honoured fashion. There is nothing childish or unhygienic about it."

Solange der Kilt nicht geliehen oder gemietet, sondern einem selbst gehört, ist es auch eine eigene Entscheidung. Manche tragen Unterwäsche, manche keine. Auf jeden Fall ist ein Kilt warm genug, so daß einem auch ohne Unterwäsche nicht kalt wird.
