You met the problem we all have, in that to many the sight of a kilt being worn for day to day activities is entirely outside their terms of reference.

So when they do encounter one, they are not being rude-rather amazed and questioning.

The only answer is for the kilt to be seen, so it is a normal sight on the event horizon, and so not something to be questioned.

The bright spot is that whilst once here in London such comments/questions would have been frequent-now the kilt appears to be accepted.
