I agree with beowulf about feeling more confident and self assured while kilted. I tend to be a bit shy in some settings but when I'm kilted, people seem to be driven to talk to me. This forces me to be more outgoing and friendly. Not a bad lesson for an Old Guy.

Have fun. You know this is something you've wanting to do. Trust yourself.
