I would personally save that for the Renfaire ( although I wouldn't wear a utilikilt as any kind of historic representation of the kilt).
With regard to the Vikings - they were early occupiers/immigrants of Scotland. One of my many times great-grandfathers is Thorfinn the Skullsplitter - Viking Jarl of Orkney. So I can tolerate a bit of Viking paraphernalia at a Highland games.
