In 2007 my wife and I went on a tour of Scotland with the CIE company. It included 2 days in Edinburgh and the Military Tattoo. We stayed in a hotel at the bottom of the Royal Mile and the evening of the Tattoo, we walked uphill toward the Castle. Along the way we were joined by hundreds of others converging on the site. We all had to go through a security checkpoint. I was wearing a Hay Tartan kilt, Argyll Jacket and balmoral bonnet. Never an unkind word from anyone in the crowd. There were a few others kilted also.
Unfortunately, the evening was very cool and windy. Threatening to rain. Difficult to enjoy the program, but it was an experience I will remember. Thank goodness for several layers of wool. My wife had brought along her winter coat. I wore kilts every day of the 5 days. Most of the tour group were Americans, and I got into some great conversations with many of them.
I say go and enjoy the experience kilted.
