If I were to visit Scotland...

The locals here always like to see the kilt worn, even if they don't do it all the time themselves. Just remember that they are not used to seeing anything other than traditional tartan kilts.

Yes, wear your kilt as often as you want in Scotland, as a previous post stated most Scots wear the kilt when there is an occassion but there is still plenty of kilties about especially in Edinburgh.
the great thing about wearing a kilt in Scotland is that it is so accepted, well it is out national dress.
The kilt is so popular now, nearly every male adult has worn one at sometime or another and there is no doubt that any remarks, and you will get remarks, are always complimentary, I can' t remember anyone saying something uncomplimentary about me wearing a kilt.
Scots love to see people wear their mational costume but what I would suggest is if you are wearing it every day, wear it in a casual manner not the full regalia.

Wear your kilt, no-one will bat an eyelid.

Oh and "Coupar Angus" is not in Fife (or Angus for that matter), it's in Perthshire, near Blairgowrie.

There is a "Cupar" in Fife though.

I am a "local" and I wear my kilt on a regular basis just because I want too. I get the usual compliments and very occasionaly asked to pose for a photo. Other than the occasional sideways look no one bothers.

Enjoy your visit.

It would likely be called a formal or tuxedo shirt.

We also call it a dress shirt and will confuse the two constantly. Have you seen the way we dress?

[Stratherrick]

"Have you seen the way we dress?"

LOL!

I have a hard enough time not seeing you guys, when not kilted up, running around in your underwear (vest and pants)!

The USA/Canada & the UK, two/three countries separated by an uncommon language (fags=cigarettes; pavement=sidewalk; bonnet=hood; bumper=fender; windscreen=windshield; boot=trunk; lollipop=popsicle etc, etc)!
