It is certainly true that people do notice you in a kilt.

I was stopped in the street of my hometown last week by a lady who said "I have seen you about town many times and I just wanted to thank you for wearing your kilt, it makes me happy to see you!" I do not recollect ever seeing the lady before. I certainly don't know her.

As you see, we are being watched - and admired - by many we don't notice.
