Oh, Ewen totally wears a kilt. But I was wondering whether he's wearing a belted plaid which of course also has a "kilt", but the kilt is attached to the top part. Or if he's wearing a kilt with a separate plaid (which seems to be attested from the 1730's on). I seem to remember he sometimes takes the plaid off without taking off the kilt, which would not be possible with a belted plaid. But I'll have to pay attention to this on reread...
Yeah, the clan tartan thing does seem to be from the 19th century. But since the book has it, I'll go with it. Yes, that one is nice. It seems to me that if you're creeping around in the heather trying to be inconspicuous, you wouldn't want to be in red, though? It looks like they also have more drab tartan patterns for hunting (although deer don't have good color vision, so it's not like it would matter to them...but birds do, though).
I'm glad you appreciate my dedication to research. *g*
