This September I am going to Scotland for the 1st (but hopefully not last) time. About half the trip I will be camping and the other half I'll either be in a hostel or B&B. Before I get to Scotland I will be attending a four day Bronze Age Sword Workshop in Cornwall.

I am thinking Utilikilt rather than the wool kilt. I don't want to burn a hole in my wool kilt with molten bronze!!!

Kilts also take up a lot of space and if it does not fit in my backpack, it is not going.

How does a Utilikilt and a Semi-Traditional from USA Kilts sound?

I can bring a pair of ultralight athletic pants so that I have something to wear when I launder the kilts.

Also, do I need to worry about looking like a tourist if I am wearing kilts all through my Scotland trip?
