    The community I live in is certainly NOT one of those places. However, a quick trip to Summerside and its good. After all, the College of Piping is there.

    I´m in southern Spain right now (checking the forum in the hotel...okey...I´m an idiot).

    It´s an area with many golf courses and lots of tourist...mostly German, Swedish, British and Dutch. The locals are very friendly and are used to "weird" tourists...they really don´t care what you wear. A guy wearing a kilt is just another bloody tourist spending his money...so all is fine

    I met a few Scottish golfers...they where amazed to meet a kilted Dutchman in Spain (I can imagine...), but they highly appreciated it...2 bottles of white wine later they made a pledge to bring their kilts (+ 1 bagpipe) on their next golf trip to Spain.

    Sort of funny I had to tell them it´s okey to wear a kilt whenever and wherever you like...but they agreed.

    Greetings from sunny Spain!

    Plenty of stares. It seems that everyone is so used to me Kilted that it is a non-issue. Now when I go to areas I do not frequent too much, then all the smiles and sincere questions. Rarely do I ever get any rude comments, or else I have tuned them out.

    Every day is a good day to wear a Kilt, and with that comes the confidence of Kilt wearing.

    Besides Vancouver, Richmond and Steveston (located outside of Vancouver) are great places to be cilted. Sure, you get the occasional look from people, but nothing bad.
