Second maybe I've missed the point but I'm no tourist, I was shopping.
Oh no, that's not what I was saying at all. I was trying to explain why the others around you might not want to wear a kilt if they identify that as a "touristy" thing to do.

And I too feel it is horrible that people avoid the attractions in their own backyard. I love going to the museums, arboretum, and more in DC. And my friends and family love it when they visit because not only will I take them to those places but I make the best free tour guide money can buy! Get me a Scotch at the nearest hotel bar while we take a rest and I'm ready to go another few hours!

And to comment quickly on visiting Scotland - I want to go there so badly.
