 from South Wales! 
The kilt is a garment that most people associate with Scotland and Scottishness and it's a culture shock for them when they hear accents other than a Scottish one from the wearer or see them worn in countries other than Scotland.
Last week I was on holiday in Tenby and sporting my St Davids Cilt and even though it's the best known Welsh tartan I had a fair share of "och aye the noo" etc. One lady though automatically addressed me in Welsh as I presume she associated a Welsh cilt automatically with being a Welsh speaker.
But wherever it is worn expect more compliments than anything else - I certainly find that to be the case!

Hello and welcome from Houston, TX! I enjoy the water of life, too. My absolute fave is Macallan 18, 12, & Cask Strength, followed by Talisker 18 as a contrast. Enjoy the forum!

Again, welcome!
Hey! If you are thinking of me, I am actually a bit of a mongrel - 75% English and 25% Scottish. However, that does not detract from the fact that it is indeed "OK to be English" and that "anyone can wear the kilt". Among my friends there are several 100% English men who are kilties...... but enough of all that.
John, a belated but warm welcome to you from soggy West Sussex where I have been an every day, full-time kilt wearer for over 9 years now - and if I can do it, anyone can!
Take care,
Ham.
