Welcome to the board. I was nervous the first few times I wore my kilts out in public. As the others have said, generally it's a nonevent. There are a few that make smart remarks, but usually from moving vehicles, not to your face. Men will look at you strangely a bit, but that passes as word gets around. The ladies always look at you and that doesn't pass. They generally seem to love it. You'll be asked if you're Scottish, if you play bagpipes, etc. The fun ones are when some lass asks if she can look under your kilt. It really is fun. I live in a small town so people tended to notice more than they would in a big city but it's been overall very positive and a great deal of fun.
