OK Blu, now I'll have to reveal the whole story. The situation in this town with me turning up and walking around the town in a kilt was eased by two factors:

1. Some friends came with me in our 8 seater van, the two guys wore kilts, so i was in good company.

2. There was a show in town, I mentioned it in another post - Scottish Power.
Some of the townsfolk assumed I was one of the performers
However, many didn't even know it was on, so I guess that didn't make much difference.

Either way, it was a great opportunity to introduce people there to kilted men.
I received no negative comments at all.

I am finding myself so comfortable and natural in a kilt that I sometimes forget I'm even wearing it, therefore I'm less aware or interested in the reaction of others.

In the earlier days (all of a few weeks ago) I was so self-conscious in the kilt that nothing else occupied my mind. I'm glad that is overwith (mostly).
