As part of my job, I see overseas visitors from all points of the globe on a daily basis, all are enchanted by, and very respectful of Scotland, it's history and traditions, what's more they have paid good money to visit us and they are most welcome, a small minority are kilted, and I am pleased to say not in an over theatrical way, they leave their contemporary kilts at home and dress in an understated traditional way, albeit a few wear pc's and white hose during the day, I have yet to witness a pithe helmet being worn, then perhaps those that can afford the travel, and are interested enough in their roots and ancestry have a heap more respect than those just interested in the theatrical and dressing up to be different.
I have yet to meet someone who has rewritten the history books to suit their commercial needs, those that I have met are keen to learn, so from my personal point of view, those that are interested show considerable respect, interest and visit and for those I have all the time in the world, those that want to flounce about like puffed up peacocks, spout utter nonesense and not show respect to tradition I have no time for, thankfully I have never met any of the latter.
