    from the Scottish Borders.
    I'd be very disappointed if anyone took offence at your wearing a kilt when you visit Scotland.
    Most Scotsmen I know own a kilt but only wear it on special occasions which makes me as an everyday kilt wearer more of an exception.
    I live in Scotland, close to the English Border and I am 75% Scottish and 25% Irish.
    There is a myth here that a man in a kilt is probably an American, particularly if wearing one of the cheaper quality kilts sold in the tourist shops - simply because we see so many people of Scots descent travelling here on holiday to discover their roots. At the start of their holiday they may buy a cheap kilt in one of the tourist shops and wear it throughout their holiday. It is a myth though, as I have probably met more Englishmen wearing kilts than Americans!
    Do come and tour Scotland in your kilt and be sure to meet up with some of the Scottish x-markers while you are here.

    Hello John and From a chilly and foggy St. Louis, Mo. seems like you question has been given some good answers and I can not add to them but wear your kilt with pride as you go.
