Line 8:
Men in The Kilt (the plural of A Kilt is The Kilt, not Kilts) are often considered sexy, especially if they have "good legs." This a form of [[Fan Service]] but it isn't always intentional; as [[Most Writers Are Male]] (and straight), they usually don't include and might even deliberately avoid [[Fan Service]] aimed at women.
On occasion it ''is'' intentional though. We'll be listing both examples of intentional and unintentional Kilt Service here. It is worth mentioning, however, there are examples of this ''definitely'' not being [[Fan Service]], when the Kilt is worn by a not traditionally attractive man... then again, [[Your Mileage May Vary|different strokes for different folks]] [[Rule
Often if a [[Man in A Kilt]] appears, someone will suggestively ask if is he "a real Scotsman", i.e. is anything worn under the kilt? If he's a "real Scotsman" he might say nothing is worn under the kilt: it's all in very good condition (historically, this is a case of [[Did Not Do the Research]]; since the "nae trews" style of kilt-wearing originated with a single ''British Army'' regiment; we also understand that it is permissible to wear underpants with a kilt at present, since there is a lady on the Scottish throne). The kilt is also invariable the Scottish tartan Great or Wee kilt, despite the kilt being considerably [[Older Than They Think]].
Line 48:
* Peter Capaldi wears a kilt, arran jumper and is seen frequently with bagpipes in [[Ken Russell]]'s terrible horror film ''The Lair of the White Worm''.
* In ''Ten Inch Hero'', Priestly wears one with a black t-shirt saying "Surf naked".
* In ''[[Carry On|Carry On Up The Khyber]]'' [[What Do You Mean
* The Hatter in Tim Burton's ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' wears a kilt for the final battle.
* Gutsy Smurf in ''[[The Smurfs (Film)|The Smurfs]]'' has full regalia plus an accent to match. However, he does wear Smurf pants underneath his kilt.
Line 76:
* [[Glee]]'s Kurt Hummel wears a very traditional (but home-made) formal kilt and jacket to his prom in "Prom Queen" - though with a pair of skinny jeans underneath, and knee-high boots (justified in that Kurt is canonically rather averse to showing skin).
* Duncan [[Mac Leod]] in the ''[[Highlander (TV)|Highlander]]'' series, along with others in the flashback scenes.
* ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' gives us [[One
* ''[[El Chapulin Colorado]]'': A guest at a costume party was wearing a kilt as part of his costume.
