Wearing your kilt to other cultural events

[Phil]

Okay, but what is 'respectful'?

Should the kilted NOT do the "Chicken Dance" if the spirit so moves them?

You have to come to Scotland at New Year, plenty of kilties doing the Chicken dance and every other kind of dance then. It is only a form of clothing after all and doesn't mean you have to behave reverentially when wearing it - quite the opposite most of the time. So loosen up and enjoy yourself when kilted.
