But in my four days in Edinburgh, Scotland it was almost a certainty that when I passed a group of Asian tourists, the women would stop dead in their tracks, stare, point, and LAUGH.
I have often worn a kilt out and about in Edinburgh, both tartan and single colour, and have never been laughed at by Asian tourists. I have found wearing a kilt in Edinburgh is a non event. The very few reactions I have had in Edinburgh have all been complimentary and once two Asian ladies stopped me in Princes Street and asked me to pose for a photo with them. I have also been asked to pose for a photo with Japanese tourists in Fort William.
