My experience with the Weegies has been pleasant, as it seems my neck of the woods is a popular place for expat Brits to retire.

On the eve of my 10 year wedding anniversary, I was assaulted by a couple who "broke the ice" by telling me they were both from Glasgow. I had a hard time with their accent, see, because it wasn't peppered with profanities (they were older, perhaps they were using profanities that had fallen out of fashion some time prior to the Crimean war).

After a short discussion, I was told I "did it guid" and my explanation of wearing the kilt as a public identifier of my involvement in the Highland Games was acceptable. I had also taken my time to dress very well (Argyle jacket, fitted gingham check shirt, ABF regimental tie), as I am as blown away that I was able to stay married for ten years or more is a milestone worthy of celebration.

From my experience, I'm going to bet it made their day to see someone dressed well in their National Dress - however I'm known to get completely lost on subtlety, even moreso when Scottish wit is involved.
