Because the English told them not to.
Trousers are a very recent invention. The Romans didn't wear them though lots of Barbarians did. When the Barbarians swept into Europe, they drove the original Celts into the sea - or al least to the western fringes of Eurpe, like the West of Sciotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany. Out of the mainstream, they failed to keep up with fashion. When Scotland was (somewhat forcibly) united with England and Wales to form the UK, the wearing of the kilt became a matter of national pride; and the ban on Highland dress after the battle of Culloden in 1745 finally squashed Scots Independence srved only to reinforce this prejudice. Which is why Scottish ceremonial costume is about 1600 years out of date.

Not just in Scotland.
Kilts are VERY popular in Seattle. Everywhere you go in Seattle there are men of every age, shape and form wearing them.
They ain't cheap eather.
I saw some in a store that average about $150.
