Is it possible to wear a kilt and not look like you're from Scotland?

Hello all,
I get the feeling that some in Scotland see people elsewhere wearing kilts as trying to be or look Scottish and some in Scotland look at it tongue in cheek or worse. Me personally, I own and/or wear a kilt on occasion because first of all I was raised and taught to be very proud of and to honor my Scottish ancestors. But also, I just think kilts are just cool. I don't even like the high "hose", etc, because here in south Alabama where it is around 100* Fahrenheit with heat index much of the time like 109 or something, I wear as little as possible, flip flops, light shirts, shorts, etc and with a kilt the same; strictly casual.
