Maybe one day you can drive over there for a kilted day without trouble.

This has probably been asked elsewhere, but since I've got a real live Scotsman here I figured why not.

Are kilts everyday wear in your locale? Do you see them on the street, in pubs, etc?

As far as 'having trouble' here in Middle GA, I don't think there would be any. A pub was having open-mic night and a kilted guy brought his bagpipes to play. He didn't have any problems. Then again he was about 6'6" and 250+lb.

And I was just picking on Culloden. I've got a good friend that lives there and we rib him about living in the 'sticks'.

It's mostly a 'No', but part of it depends where you are.
I live in a big city and I do see people wearing kilts regularly.
And a lot of the local boy scout groups all wear kilts regularly.
Elsewhere, it's not so easy to 'get away with it.'

But I'm trying to help change that.

Welcome,from the Scottish Highlands.In answer to your question about kilts being worn in our area as everyday wear,the answer is an emphatic no.I was at Blair Atholl yesterday at a show and apart from the members of a pipe band,I only saw three kilts being worn.Sad but true.
