There is a saying here in Scotland that the kilt is a garment worn only by Scots while they are visiting America and worn by Americans while they are visiting Scotland.
I am a Scot living in Scotland and I wear a kilt regularly and for several years I wore a kilt almost every day. I have been approached by people a few times and asked if I am American, but never in a disrespectful way. Scots will be pleased to see our visitors from the diaspora honouring the Scottish heritage.
Thank you Alex. The times I've visited Scotland, I've always had a great time and everyone treated my wife and I with respect. However, this will be the first time wearing a kilt in Scotland and I didn't want to appear too "kooky" if you know what I mean.
