I think that there is too much emphasis placed on kilts being "touristy" in Scotland. There are areas of Scotland where a kilt is moreso the rule and not the exception. Tomward, where are you?

My "tank" will be making the trip with me, no question about it. I will be making a trip from Bridge of Allan to Dunoon, to visit the Lamont Memorial and the castle ruins at Toward. How could I not wear my Lamont tartan for that? What could POSSIBLY be more appropriate to wear as I visit my ancestral home? I will also wear it to Lanark for the close of the Walk for Wallace event.

A "tourist" is the guy at Disney World in the dress shirt, shorts, sandals and dark socks. (Don't laugh, you've seen the guy too!) If you are kilted in an appropriate manner, you are not going to attract any more attention that somebody driving a car with a rental agency sticker in the back window.
