You are unlikely to encounter any animosity while wearing the kilt in Scotland where most people like to see one worn even if they don't wear it themselves. There are very few people indeed who take the attitude that only a Scotsman should be wearing a kilt, I have only ever met one so don't concern yourself there. What you are likely to encounter is comments of the "kiltie, kiltie cauld bum" variety from (usually) younger people but as they are likely to direct such attention to anyone, regardless of nationality, it shouldn't concern you. The general attitude towards kilt wearers here is that they are probably working in the hospitality industry in some capacity (tour guide, hotel doorman, busker) or in one of the many highlandwear shops and may be pleasantly surprised that you actually wear it as a garment of choice.
