Great pictures and just think of the stories those kids got to tell their friends and family. You'll probably be posted in a lot of family albums and have the story told a retold for a long time to come. You do make a good ambassador for the rest of us and maybe the next time a kilt shows up in Istanbul, they'll receive a reception like yours. Remember the good times and quickly forget the rest. Here's to ya
Your pride and confidence show well, that sir, is the key.

Thanks Ron. I've always been willing to do 'crazy' things and not think too much of people's reactions. I'm trying to apply the confidence to the wearing of the kilt (not that it's crazy in any way, not what I'm trying to imply).
Just glad I can expand the kilt wearing community to areas that it may be even more rare. I look forward to wearing my kilt in Thailand when I return and on my many travels around the world while kilted.
Can't say the kilt is a benign article of clothing!
Those pics are great! I'm sure you had an excellent time!
I'll have to say the only thing benign in a kilt is the wool thread itself, although I am sure a kilt or two has been known to soak up a lot of malted beverages!
