I know this is a long way round - but bear with me. I was wearing my Isle of Skye kilt, a white shirt & tie, masters cape & gown, and a Glengarry while getting ready to march to our college's graduation when a lovely young lass with a Scots accent told me that a real Scotsman would never wear a Glengarry to a college graduation. I refrained from telling her "bollocks" mostly because of her charming accent. I just smiled and turned away.
My point? Some people won't be happy no matter how your dressed so I say wear your Glengarry with pride and do nothing to shame it or the heritage it represents.

Welcome,from a sunny Inverness-shire.Wear your glengarry by all means.The thing that may cause a rumpas is wearing clan badge "A" with tartan "B",but that is not a problem for you at the moment.

As I was dipping my toe into Scottish wear I used to wear my glengarry around town by itself. This also helped me get used to the 'looks' that folks would give for something unusual! By all means, go for it.
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

It is indeed possible to wear your Glengarry without a kilt.

You can get a XMarks clan badge and then no one can call you on the Tartan you wear.

I don't wear a kilt every day but in cool weather I pretty much do wear a hat whenever I leave the house. Thanks to two recent purchases come fall I'll be wearing a Balmoral with XMarks Clan Badge on a very regular basis.
I say go for it.
Oh, and

I cant buy the kilt I want right now (MacMillan Hunting Ancient) so what could I do to show my Scottish/ Clan pride? If anyone has a horrible problem with me not having a kilt, you can PM me and Ill give you the address for the Kilts for Poor Firefighters Fund! 
Wear it with whatever you want.
