One of the reasons I wouldn't consider taking a kilt on a holiday in Britain is precisely that attitude, and the fact that all that stuff takes up valuable space!

As I've shared before, the only time I did wear a kilt in Scotland was when performing with a Pipe Band, and while walking from our performance in George Square to the nearest Underground station I was accosted by an elderly lady who demanded "WHERE are you FROM??" and when I answered "Los Angeles" she harrumphed "I THOUGHT so!" and stomped off.

(Next time I'll have to change into mufti immediately after our band is done playing, lest I again get caught before I can make it to the underground station!)
