Thanks so much for all the replies despite my forgetting to do a search (which I will do but feel you've all responded so positively - I don't really need to!) I live in San Francisco, so I see a few kilts here and there, though they're mostly Utilikilts... so I'm used to being the only one out and about when I'm kilted.

It's true, if I don't wear one, I'll regret it - especially going to Mull and visiting Duart Castle... so I'll certainly be wearing one of my Maclean kilts. We'll be in Glasgow for a bit of a family reunion with my Scottish and Irish cousins so not sure about a kilt then - they certainly won't be wearing one - but we will be taking a tour of the highlands and up to Skye - which seems a great time to get in some kilt wearing.

Some more questions:
1. How is the weather there in July though? We are heading off in 2 weeks now... Will I need to worry about stiff breezes? (do I need to bring a heavy kilt pin ? We'll be on the Western Isles, Glasgow, Edinburgh, then cutting across the Highlands to Skye)

2. Must go to Kilt Shops? I'm looking for a unique sporran - Something without tassles. I'm not a fan of the noise the tassles make. I'll have more time in Glasgow and have a cousin who lives there so she could direct me - maybe. Not much time in Edinburgh this time around but will be in Skye for a day or two, Oban for a day, and Tobermoray for a few days.

Thanks much! and will post some photos once I return!
