That's great! I'm sure my family would stand up for kilt wearers too. I actually had the good fortune of having a random girl at the bar defend my kilt. Her friend had said, very nicely and dead seriously, "I really like your skirt" to which the girl replied "Are you an idiot? That's a kilt. It's Scottish."
So if anyone had a sister visiting Williamsburg last weekend, be proud. She defended a kilt wearer too
