Back when most men wore the kilt, the shirts were long enough to cover up their stuff when they weren't wearing the kilt. Some of them tied the ends of the shirt together between the legs to act as a form of underwear. I assume the lairds of the time wore whatever underwear was worn in the rest of Europe.
Can't say I'd want nothing scrambling through the thistles and what not. A lifetime of swinging free would result in some pretty long danglies by old age too I'd think.
The kilt as seen today was a Victorian mash up of a true kilt.

"Before the 19th Century re-design that Highland dress went through following the interest of Prince Albert the Prince Consort and the popularity of Sir Walter Scott, the kilt was an unstructured wrap, made of a long piece of material gathered round the body and thrown over the shoulder, then held in place with a belt and clasps. Beneath this was a sark, a long shirt like a night-shirt (the witch in Burns’s Tam O’ Shanter is called “Cutty Sark” because she dances in a sark with the tails cut short, and was the inspiration for the tea-clipper of the same name). The tails of the shirt were gathered up between the legs and wound round the waist, in the manner of a loin-cloth. So while there might not have been any separate underpants, there was usually adequate covering beneath the kilt."
They used to wear a ceremonial pubic wig, known in Gaelic as the Spghorrangh, but over time it became customary to wear this on the outside of the kilt as the modern 'sporran', and to go naked underneath.
"Opinions" won't get you anywhere. The FACT is that in the army they're not allowed to wear underpants, but in civilian life some do and some don't.
We only wear them on special occasions and we usually don't wear anything underneath, my dad tells us its tradition
If you're manly enough to wear a "dress" in public and be proud, you probably got something pretty impressive under the kilt and should show it off proudly......no undies is my vote.
As the old saying has it, nothing is worn under the kilt, it's all in perfect working order.
Most people in Scotland do not wear kilts........ you are likely to see tourists, people selling them or those getting married, the only other time is hogmanay
You keep a-knocking but you can't get in.
You keep asking this question and we keep answering and you ignore all the answers because you already made up your mind.
Wearing anything under the kilt is weak. i know many men who wear the kilt - all is a God made it.
