kilty
What I think us 'locals' are saying is, less is more! 
Even though you'll be bursting with pride, and want to put on every last trinket, hold back and save the fancy jacket for that special occasion or for your hotel in the evening.
As others have said, especially around the capital, you'll be well accepted in a kilt. From experience, I can say the same for Inverness where I also spend a lot of time.
If you try too hard, it just looks like showing off. Ideally, you should just aim to blend into the background, whether that be the old, cobbled streets of the Old Town, or hiking up a glen somewhere. Even a silver-topped dress sporran can look a bit over the top if all you're doing is just shopping or going for a ride on a boat up the Great Glen. Fancy accoutrements are just that, for fancy occasions.
Enjoy your trip!
