American tourists in Scotland

[Jock Scot]

I kind of wish that I had never posted. I got a few civil answers, then the thread got hijacked to Texas. Things were said that should not have been. We are supposed to be gentlemen and ladies on this site. I guess that is why I don't post much any more. Whatever happened to civility?The reason I posted in the first place is because I read a thread that the poster said he had a dislike for "foreigners coming into the country. I was planning a trip to Scotland in late summer. I have to wonder if I should go where I'm not wanted. Maybe we will go back to Germany. Now there is a country that welcomes foreigners.

Frank you asked an honest question and you have been given honest answers by Scotsmen. I have seen all the posts in this thread and read and re-read them and I can honestly say that I cannot understand why you feel that the country is unfriendly to the traditional kilt.If anyone were to visit here expecting us all to know about a box pleated kilt an honest answer has been given, we know very little about them. If anyone were to wear a "modern" kilt an honest answer has also been given, we know even less about them and as we are rightly proud of our national dress there are distinct ideas of what a kilt is. An opinion was asked for and an opinion has been given not just by me, but by other Scots too and perhaps more importantly, by others that have happily visited here. I have read nothing here that a well behaved, mindful, conscientious, respectful, open minded, traditional kilt wearing visitor could take exception to.

Come on over, you will have a whale of a time! If you are up this way, why not join, me,Redshank, theScot, Zardoz, thistledown, Ali,Grant and anyone else that might, or, are thinking of coming over for a wee dram(actually most of them are not coming, but they have been invited and one day I would love to meet many Xmarkers, including you). Anyway its your choice, but I am quite sure that you will have as good a time here in Scotland as anywhere else in this world.
