The traditional answers to this question are "their socks and shoes" or "naught but what God gave 'em." And our extensive research reaffirms that most Scotsmen keep it simple under their kilts.
The Straight Dope states that kilts don't require undergarments, though Wikipedia disagrees. It claims going commando under a kilt is a myth started by "part-time kilt wearers." Less adventuresome Scots wear tartan boxer shorts.
The pleated, skirt-like garment so beloved by those of Scottish descent dates back to about the 16th century. This was well before the invention of boxers or briefs, and men simply wore long shirts underneath their belted plaids for an extra layer around their privates.
When the British military started forming highland regiments, it's believed that the kilted soldiers were required not to wear anything under their kilts. This led to the term "regimental." Revealing photos found on the Net show this military tradition lives on.
However, kilted gents in Highland step dancing and athletic Highland games often do wear undergarments. Wouldn't want to offend someone when that tartan twirls.

Why don`t you find a Scotsman
Ask him if you could see what he has under his kilt
If he says yes then look
If he says no you will still have to be carefull
As either way you could end up with a MOUTHFULL
The second option is amouthfull of FIST
Work out what the first option could give you a mouthfull of.

According to tradition, nothing. I once heard a story about two young girls who decided to see for themselves. The went up to a Scotsman who was asleep and lifted up his kilt. They found out it was true, and tied a red ribbon around his, er, manhood.
When he awoke, he went to go to the bathroom, found the ribbon, and said, "I don't know where you've been, but I see you've won second prize!"

A true highlander wears absolutely nothing!. Even in the winter time they don't. Their tartan when unfolded is about 6 yards in length and was used as a blanket at night.

A true Scot would not wear anything under his kilt.
