    The kilt cannot be universally accepted

    Despite the widely held belief by many of our dedicated and frequent kilt-wearers,
    The kilt is not the widely and universally accepted mode of dress that they would have us believe. It is certainly true that wearing the kilt in very many places and in
    Very many countries is accepted with delight and pleasure by a great many observers. I have experienced first hand the benefits of being a kilt wearer in so many different countries and cultures. It is very gratifying and satisfying to know that your mode of dress is greeted by so great a number of compliments not only by females but equally by the male gender as well.
    As a Scot I always feel an extra responsibility to my country when rigged out in the kilt, it is so easy to to commit an act of rudeness and as a result bring about a consensus of opinion that all kilt wearers are
    same.
    Nevertheless there are places and countries that if you wear a kilt you will be treated as if you were from another planet. There can be outright aggression, derision and scorn from various people in hostile and strange quarters.
    My experience of kilt wearing is one that must be selective and take in where you are with acceptance of peoples background, locality, culture, religion and in many cases poverty if the region.
