I've encountered many people from Scotland while kilted and have never had anything but a good experience from it. They've all been delighted to see someone in a kilt, even though I wear mine American Style, so to speak.

Seems to me a 'real Scot' having trouble with anyone wearing a kilt would be like a 'real Texan', which I happen to be, taking issue with someone wearing a Cowboy (Western) hat ... I'm always tickled to see it, whether they've got the whole cowboy outfit or just the hat with Bermuda shorts.

I can't speak for the Scots, but I'd consider any Texan who had problems with non-Texans and cowboy hats to be ignorant rednecks. Here in Texas there is nothing wrong with being redneck, I'm redneck. But ignorant, well lets just say one ingnorant redneck puts us all in the news.

Given that rednecks largely trace their heritage back to Scotland and Ireland I'm guessing Scots are about the same.

Like you, I'd love to read a post or two from a 'real Scot', though.

Kilt On.
