I don't think that kilts are mentioned in the books per se, though.

I'll just correct myself having re-read HP and the Goblet of Fire. There's a character called Basil who appears 'wearing a kilt and a poncho'.

I don't think it is disrespectful at all. My friend Todd(ish) (Mc)Wong host an annual Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner and it is fusion of Burns Night and Chinese New Year. It is not disrespectful to either culture. I wear my kilt for this event every year. I have raced dragon boats in my kilt before.

For me it is not a problem at all
