See Ham, that just points out the difference between those on this side of the pond and those on your side (IMHO). We see a kilt and think Oh, somebody Scottish, they must be in a pipe band because why would they wear a kilt, and I think in the UK and Europe, people look beyond, or ignore, the clothes. My own 2 cents, I may be wrong, but in most of my trips to Europe, mainly to Germany, I found the people much more open to new ideas, and more tolerant. Not to say that people did not have strong opinions!
