My wife and I had dinner out in St Louis Saturday night, and I wore a kilt... The questions I got were:

What clan is it?
Is there a Scottish festival in town?
Do you play the pipes?
Are you from Ireland?

And the comment "you dont see that in St Louis everyday"

Now I will admit that it was a Maclean hunting kilt (green) so that may have coloured the Irish comment, but it does kind if go towards the perception that kilts arent only Scottish
