No Kilts seen in Scotland!

[figheadair]

Just to be clear, assuming a tourist was trying to be respectful and wasn't being rude, and was dressed to an appropriate level for the occasion, is there anything wrong with this tourist wearing a kilt in Scotland?

If it is best for a tourist not to wear a kilt in Scotland, then wouldn't that apply to non-Scots wearing it outwith Scotland?

I don't think most people would mind. Given that most Scots don't wear the kilt regularly, they might think it a little strange, but that applies to those of us living here too.

The overseas question is an interesting one. I understand people wearing a kilt for/to Scottish related events but I do find it a little strange when people chose to wear the kilt is places and doing things that are completely unrelated to Scottish activities. I have a particular dislike of the modern so-called Utility Kilt. Ask most Scots their opinion of those and I'm sure the first thing they would say is that it's a skirt.
