I would have to say that wearing the kilt even in Scotland takes a good bit of courage, certainly it will be better accepted there, however it is not the norm. I have been kilted full time for over a year and a half, in that time I've found that the negative comments have dropped off, and I think the reason for that is my own comfort level in a kilt has changed, it is now simply what I wear. It does get easier with the doing of it, of course from time to time you will still have to deal with those that will never understand your reasons for dressing as you wish.

I am sure that you will be able to handle these things when they present themselves, I am also sure that given time you will find as I have that the comments drop off. One other thing that helps, try to ensure that the outfits you wear look good people will not question you as much if you look presentable.
