Yep, I think you're right about the accent. As for the colours and that, I've made a fairly plain blue kilt that I'm interested to get a response about. It has a very faint 1" white check through an airforce blue background. We'll see!
I had an odd response at a family gathering. One relative said I wasn't Scottish (but it is in the line and they know it!!!) and the other, whom I thought would be completely against anything remotely skirt-like because it is 'unmanly' (his sort of words)remarked that it looked very smart. Seems it is the most unlikely places and people that promote responses.
As for that gathering.... I'll keep my eyes open!
