Kilted US expat in Scotland needing advice

[CBH]

I'm just catching up on this interesting thread.

I can relate as I'm American, and also from Texas - one of the handful of places in America that people in other countries have actually heard about. As such, our stereotypes are often why they know about it

In the cities there really aren't many people who wear boots and hats. A few, maybe........ But there are still genuine cowboys that wear that "costume" every day. Its just normal clothing in rural parts of the state, and perhaps many other places in the West and South.

I can also relate because I plan to visit Scotland in the near future, and really wanted to wear my kilts to at least some of the places we plan to visit. I figured dinner would be a good occasion, and I thought distilleries would also be well suited. Although distilleries would doubtlessly be filled with 100% tourists.

As OP will be living in Scotland, I expect that after perhaps an initial visit to some typical tourist spots, he and his family will probably not have to worry too much about being confused for a tourist in their normal, everyday life. Probably don't see many tourists at the grocery store or normal restaurants.

What about a golf course ? I've never golfed in a kilt, but wondered of all the usual places you might see a man in a kilt, is a golf course one of them ? Pockets are extremely handy for golf, so perhaps simple logistics would make it impractical. Anxious to see what y'all think.....
