Not a resident of Scotland proper but it's really a mixed bag depending on who you speak with. Usually it's favorable when it comes down to the celebration. For some it's heritage, others it's cultural. For some like the stones, it's right of passage. Think of it like being invited to a fully formal black tie occasion and having to wear a tuxedo.
I have been thinking about this post a lot. It covers many aspects and you are absolutely right it is "a mixed bag depending on who you ask". I am going to break down your post into sections, which may assist your understanding.
".............Usually it's favourable when it comes down to a celebration."
Well yes, but it does depend on the celebration and where it is held. It should be pointed out however, that some, most even, just wear their kilt for no reason at all other than it was a good idea at the time.
"...........For some its heritage, others its cultural."
I doubt if many kilted Scots even give that a thought.
"..........For some like the stones, its a right of passage."
Really? I can't think of anyone who thinks that.
"........Thinking of it like being invited to a fully formal black tie occasion and having to wear a tuxedo."
I am not sure that I understand your point. But formal events have certain attire requirements such as a tuxedo(dinner jacket in UK terms) and kilt attire is no different with its formal requirements.
