Yeah, I've had that same experience. When I wear my tartan kilts, people ask me if I'm Scottish. (Of course, the answer is "only partly, but born in the US.") When I wear my AmeriKilt, I get bugged by goth and emo kids wanting to know where I got it. Otherwise, no one really comments on the modern solid ones. It's odd- I'd think the new ones would be more confusing and attract more curiosity.

And on topic- I've been told that I shouldn't even wear a kilt at all because my grandfather is English. My grandmother on my dads side was a Scot, and my mother is Irish, but because my father is not the Scottish part of me, I shouldn't wear a kilt at all. Something about not being allowed to wear the tartan from the feminine side of the family.
