I really do not think I have ever had any compliments paid me about my kilts by kids - of any age. It is usually those in their early to mid-teens who, when in groups, "mouth off" with unkind or abusive remarks. Otherwise, kilts (even Utilikilts, which they are less likely to recognise as kilts) seem to be a non-event. It is true that the comments only come from teenage groups - never individuals!
