I am also one of those people who would expect some respect for Scottish heritage and custom if you wish to wear the kilt. That said, you don't need to be Scottish to do that. Just respect the culture.

While it is a costume, it isn't fancy dress (I.e., a masquerade costume chosen to suit the wearer's fancy).
Since I wasn't there, I can't say for certain, but were those individuals you saw reenactors? Granted, there are reenactors and reenactors -- I saw my fair share of both in a decade of participating in living history with NPS.
