Kilt in a Grand Lodge of Scotland's Lodge

I've recently visited a Lodge under the supervision of the Grand Lodge of Scotland for their annual open day.

The Worshipful Master was wearing a kilt.

Is that something that happens in every Lodge within the Grand Lodge of Scotland of just a personal choice for the annual event?

Wearing kilts is certainly allowed, as is the wearing of 'trews' (tartan dress pants). Usually, if wearing a kilt it is with full highland dress. This, of course, is optional.

The Grand Lodge of Scotland has its own tartan, which any member can wear. (It also has its own scotch whiskey!)

I asked an old Scotsman once what was worn under the kilt. He replied with a tear in his eye "everything, laddie"

Seriously, it is the WM's call as to lodge attire e.g my home lodge is smart/casual coat & tie for officers at degree work and stated communications, while the next lodge in our district mandates black tuxedos for all officers and another nearby has white......

I think it's Grand Master's Mason's Choice.

There are a number of Masonic whiskeys including Old Masters (not my favourite) and Johnny Walker Freemason Blue Label Limited Edition.

Kilts are often seen in Scottish lodges, but more for the formal or special occasions, such as installations, where you will generally see a mix of kilts and trews being worn by brethren. It is always a full dress option though, normally with a Prince Charlie jacket and waistcoat, white dress shirt and a bow tie.
