KILT, n. A costume sometimes worn by Scotchmen in America and Americans in Scotland. (Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary)

While I don't agree with this deffinition, especially the "costume" part. I do wonder how prevalent kilt wearing actually is in Scotland. I have always heard that for most people a kilt is hired when needed for a special event, but other than that, kilts are not very common. I know that inexpensive "sport kilts" are becoming more common at certain football games and the like.

If I wore one of my Gordon kilts in Scottland would I stick out as an American tourist or would I be accepted? What about a non-traditional Kilt such as Freedom kilts or a UK.
