Kilts are pretty well accepted and tolerated in NH. We have a couple of games and lots of Scottish type stuff happening as well as a few Scottish shops (OK I'll admit to sneaking over the line to Queechee, VT once....twice.....a lot......)
I hear Boston is very cool for kilts, maybe I'll go there someday, just kidding! The whole Celtic thing is big in New England and that's a good thing. I don't see a lot on a daily basis but it's not a real shock to people when I do wear mine. Most are polite if not complimentary.
We're still pretty Puritanical in these parts so kilt checks and the like have been rare for me. It could also be due to the fact that I'm old, fat, and ugly but it's my lie and I'll tell it any way I want
I guess I'm pretty lucky to live "around here", people are pretty open minded.

While I was living in Kittery, I went out kilted all the time. Many a lovely waitress enjoyed my presence, as the wife enjoyed knowing she was going to be going home with this kilted goodness.
I never did manage a kilt night, as the nearest popular town was Boston. I wasn't about to make the wife drive an hour each way so I could have a few pints with like minded fellows.

Now, though the family is still in Maine, I live in Hawaii. Supposedly, there are fellow X-Markers on O'ahu, but they have never answered up to any calls for a kilt night. I can only assume they are a myth.
