I have been lucky I suppose living where I do, this sort of thing is not a problem--------although, I do recall a very pretty young lady in the distant past who was none too impressed with the kilt, dammit. I digress, hurrumph!---------- Anyway, I read of of this problem of yours quite often here and it seems to me there is no quick fix. However, "knowing the enemy" so to speak, is a good start and work your strategy around that. Let her have a good look at the pictures on this website, there is a whole host of kilted attire options for her to see and think about, pipe bands are good for lightening the the atmosphere so let her see lots of kilts, so tactics of a "slowly, slowly, catchy monkey" kind would be my thoughts------------and hope! 
Good luck!

Thanks Jock,
Pipe bands are not a win -- Scottish pipes are
probably her least favourite instrument. Get
her to watch pipe bands in action? Ain't gonna
happen.
But is interesting to hear that, even in Scotland,
there is some resistance to kilted men.
Thanks,

Soooooo, pipes are out, the men in skirts mindset is at play, not that interested in sport, hummmmmm, tricky then. One thing I would say and I forgot to mention it before, is keep along the "traditional" kilt lines, otherwise you may well feed "the men in skirts" thing. OK! No one said this was going to be easy, but don't give up-------------------------------yet!
