I don't remember hearing it in my lifetime there but always thought it was a sort of toast
.... my search says.....

Up yer Kilt = Cheers. Positive sentiments all round.
Reply with; "Do Dheagh shlàinte". Or "Get it up yie bawbag".Aug 15, 2024

"Up your kilt" is a Scottish English phrase, often used as a toast or a term of endearment, similar to "cheers" or "good luck". It expresses a sentiment of best wishes, a long and prosperous life, and can also be used to mean "just enjoy". The phrase is often paired with "slainte mhath," which means "good health" in Gaelic
 
I have never in 50 years living in England hear any English person say ''up your kilt''... bit in Scotland we said all the time.. I stil say it today a do my fmily members .. in a kind of ..mocking, dismissal...

For example..one maigt say..''hey holly, your hair looks a mess today''... my retort ''up your kilt''...

Hey holly.. Your joke isn't funny... reply....up your kilt...


In fact as youngsters when we learned that the real name for a Scottish kilt is ''filibeg''... we'd pretentiously go around saying..''Up your Filibeg' at anyone who slighted us.. :ROFLMAO:

You reminded me of a saying that a former co-worker would use. Anywhere you would say "up your kilt", she would say "bite me"!!!! 😂
 
Beasties!

When I was in the Air Force in the North of Scotland,
our favourite pub, in Forres, was called the "Red Beastie".

The picture below is from, Google Maps, I see that they
have changed the name to, "The Bonnie Beastie", maybe
because the Air Force has left that area, I was there in
1960.
