No problems anywhere. Perhaps not going again to Poland or Lithuania. Nothing special, just a feeling that a kilt is not welcome there.
In Jordania I first hesitated a bit, but an archaeologist with our group, who had been years there, advised that it is an old British colony and they know what the kilt is. He was right. No problems. I would not wear shorts there but the kilt was perfect in that weather.
In Wales, I got new friends immediately when they learned my tartan was Glyndwr. "Owen, he is our hero..."
I think somewhere here is a picture of me wearing Glyndwr tartan in front of a pub named Owen Glyndwr.
