I went for a walk on the South Downs near the southern coast of England the other day and thought I would probably wear my blackwatch kilt. Nice weather up there so it was quite busy. I strategically had my sunglasses on so that i could scan around for peoples reactions, which i have to say, were completely non-existant.

When walking in the English countryside it is polite to acknowledge people when you walk past. I don't recall anyone even glancing at my kilt. Mind you, if you're going to wear a kilt outside of Scotland or Ireland, i would say the place were you are least likely to get reactions would be England, considering that it borders Scotland. People probably just think it is a stray Scotsman that has just fallen below the border.

Only downside to the walk was that it was rather hot. About 30 degrees.
