    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.
    Hi. I may be out of place totally but I understand what you say about not getting why people wear a kilt for non Scottish activities, however, I do in fact wear a kilt most days here and have done since I retired unless of course Im doing something that due to its nature def doesnt really suit wearing a kilt. Its true that people see this as slightly eccentric but its def offset by the numbers in everyday life ie men, women and schoolkids who see it as being anything ranging from 'great to see the kilt being worn' to the teenagers passing by to the local school here who think Im 'cool' wearing kilts. Never seen myself as cool before so its a first.
