Overall it wasn't an unpleasant occurrence just completely unexpected.
McMurdo, I'd have taken that one badly, hope you managed to teach him a lesson in manners.
The Scots, particularly Highlanders, do a very serious look on first meeting anyway, the open faced smiles style at first meeting are not what Scots do on the whole, particularly when doing the tongue in cheek bit! Sometimes it is true, as OCR has recounted, some Scots are actually not impressed with outsiders wearing the kilt and make it very plain that they aren't, but most of that ilk just hold their council.
