Gavin, like the Nike ad - just do it! If you read my introduction, you will see that I first wore mine publicly specifically to stand out at a business conference. From there it progressed to trade shows, then just out and about in general, walks along the Ashby canal in Leicestershire, then stops at the motorway services on the way to and from another event. London was a favourite haunt - you can get away with anything there!

After that, it just became a garment choice. As others have said, you do get questions, mostly about the tartan and the odd small child pointing it out to a parent (it's always fun to lurk and listen to the explanation!).

By the time we moved to Australia, it was just second nature, nothing special to head off to the supermarket for the weekly shopping or for a day at the coast. In fact, I've had no negative comments here at all, maybe it goes with the lifestyle here?

You say your workmates are giving you some hassle - just the mob effect, I guess. If you just ignore them, they'll get tired before you do. If there's a good looking secretary where you work, you could always ask (bribe?) her to come and chat to you when your mates are around, making it obvious that your kilt is the attraction!
