StevieR lives in Dorset, I live in Hampshire, kiltedinsomerset err...lives in Somerset. There's a few more down south. You will get the usual pointing, smiles, derogatory comments and stares but no more than I got when I was in Scotland. On the plus side the ladies love it!
Friends stay in touch on FB simon Taylor-dando

No additional comments on what previous gentlemen said already about the reactions on the spot. I personally I couldn't care less. I am only receptive for positive comments and ignore the others. But I see your 'hesitation' vis-à-vis the possible reaction of your children. In fairness I am a bit in the same situation.

I've just posted these on their facebook pages and I'll wait and see what reaction I get. This is my cheapest PV kilt, now relegated to dog walking only:

When I lived in the UK, I never had any problems wearing my kilt (except delays talking to people who asked about it!) either in the East Midlands where I lived or on fairly regular visits to Hampshire. So go for it, from a geographic point of view. As for your family, only you can know.

I've just posted photos on their FB pages of me in my dog walking kilt, with dogs, so I'll see what reaction I get.

I wear a kilt in England everyday, don't worry about what anyone else thinks, it is not a problem. Just get your family used to the idea before you arrive and they should be fine too.
If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

My son has threatened not to pick me up from the airport which I think is a bit strong!

I suppose you could always threaten to disown him if he does.

He's given me a ggrandaughter, which is my main reason for going, so that may be a little awkward.

Wear your kilt, man! Be a Noble Savage in a Noble Loin Cloth...live while you're still alive! "I Wish Not To Intimidate, And Know Not How To Fear." The finest template of Highland Dress is HRH Charles, The Prince Of Wales (Duke Of Rothesay), so there's your inspiration. Buck Up And Kilt On, Brother!
