Sorry to hear that you were treated in such a manner by those who don't understand.

I thought the States would be a great place to wear the kilt as there are so many different cultures and creeds that expressing your own goes mainly unnoticed.

When I have visited my relatives in the States (never with my kilt on) I have been treated with nothing but kindness and respect.

Never mind, there are one million that will support you to every one of these type of idiots.!!!!
