My "tank" will be making the trip with me, no question about it. I will be making a trip from Bridge of Allan to Dunoon, to visit the Lamont Memorial and the castle ruins at Toward. How could I not wear my Lamont tartan for that? What could POSSIBLY be more appropriate to wear as I visit my ancestral home? I will also wear it to Lanark for the close of the Walk for Wallace event.

A "tourist" is the guy at Disney World in the dress shirt, shorts, sandals and dark socks. (Don't laugh, you've seen the guy too!) If you are kilted in an appropriate manner, you are not going to attract any more attention that somebody driving a car with a rental agency sticker in the back window.

LOL, popping in to back up my mate Mike.. where I'm from there's guys kickin about who wear kilts every day. No one I know thinks that kilts are touristy.. wear em with pride My family encourages me to wear a kilt here. It's seen as sign of respect, if anything.
