reactions abroad ??

Kilted in the Netherlands:

Is also abroad...well...not for me, but for the rest of you it's abroad

In general the Dutch are well educated and open minded (always the odd exception to the rule...). Most recognise the kilt, most love to see a man kilted.

The Dutch can be very outspoken...expect remarks and people staring at you, but don't worry...they like it. Our women are shameless creatures...enjoy!

The Dutch can also be conservative..."act normal is already weird enough", those conservatives are harmless...they love to mind their own affairs and nothing else...raising an eyebrow or a faint smile is already a major act of showing emotion.

You're in mortal danger when you stumble upon soccer hooligans, although they might like your "tribal" look...they've only 3 braincells..."good", "bad" and "beer" :rolleyes:

Our immigrants (most from Turkey and Morocco) will not understand the kilt, but that's okey...they think the natives are weird anyway (with reason ).

When I was in Scotland last July I'm sure all the locals just regarded me as a tourist, wearing a kilt because I was in Scotland.
I felt like screaming out "I always wear a kilt, even back home", but there was no point, so I just put it behind me and did my own thing.

I got a lot of tourists wanting to photograph me, I was probably the only kilted man they saw in Scotland.
I happily posed, figuring that if the Scots won't wear their kilt that God gave them, then I'd better lend a hand
