My interest is primarilly in traditional tartan kilts. Reading the posts here it seems that many of the members have traveled from their homes to Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. So, my question is this; What reaction, if any, did you perceive from the locals when they saw you (the foriegner) wearing a kilt?

I ask this because there is a tendancy for people to only focus on the stupid, or embarassing behavior of tourists. I'm certain there are plenty of tourists to the region who would treat a cultural tradition such as kilt wearing with little respect.
