Irish Kilts: solid vs. tartan

[CMcG]

If I can jump in before Paul answers. You did ask me a question in a "pipe band" context and I answered in a "pipe band" context. A piper is usually in a uniform of some sort with an appropriate instrument. A tourist is wearing a T shirt(?), wet weather gear(!) and carrying a camera!

Yes, tourist accessories are easy to pick out all over the world. The tour bus that they arrive on with a local person leading the pack, or utterly confused person struggling to figure out a map are also international tourist symbols

What if you saw a person at an event, in Britain somewhere (possibly Scotland), in the evening, where Scots might be wearing tartan kilts and tweed jackets, but one person was wearing a solid saffron kilt and tweed jacket? What would you (and others) think then? Leave aside for the moment any other Irish accessories (like a shamrock kilt pin) or tourist accessories that might give further information, in order to just focus on perceptions of the solid colour kilt amongst a bunch of tartan kilts.
