As I'm 75% Scottish and 25% Irish I feel visitors from overseas should expect to see more kilts being worn when they visit Scotland, so I proudly wear mine. Though over the past few years I've come to think the kilt is becoming more of an American's garment - not only because we often see American visitors with Scots ancestry who proudly don a tartan kilt when they come here - but probably more so due to the advent of modern adaptations of the traditional kilt, such as the Utilikilt and Amerikilt which developed in the USA though they are now just beginning to be seen more here too. But hey, the kilt is a comfortable garment and everybody should feel free to wear one, regardless of nationality, race, colour or creed. Just my two pence worth on the subject.
