Welcome Roan. I like that name, any history to it?
Wear your kilt with pride and if need be, give a brief history lesson of kilts and possible Scots who have settled your area before to those who just don't get it. Seeing something different enough times can sometimes become the "norm." So wear your kilt as often as you can, and at least you can be happy and free!
DALE.

Welcome to XMarks, Roan. The more you wear your kilt in your town, the sooner people will become accustomed to it.

Welcome to X Marks Roan. Sorcererdale's thread said it all. Wear your Kilt with pride and people will accept you for yourself. I became fully Kilted [totaly traditional] at the age of 19, [now 61 ],so don't let a few narrow minded people put you off. It's your life and live it Kilted.

Welcome in Roan and wear your kilt with pride.
Why waddle with the ducks when you can fly with the eagles?
Cheers! Bill

Welcome from Scotland, Roan. My initial thoughts, as a Scot, on viewing your pic were that your kilt appeared to be slightly longer than the traditional length of hitting to not below mid knee. However I certainly wouldn't let that bother you. On the contrary I wear traditional Scottish kilts to mid knee and non-traditional kilts to bottom of knee. I have found that the longer length, where the end of the kilt is almost brushing the hose, attracts a lot less notice than do bare knees, so since you live in a conservative area where there are few kilts I'd agree the slightly longer kilt is a good idea.

Yeah, I was born in ROANoke, Virginia. Roanoke itself has all kinds of stories, including that of the "lost colony" it was possibly named after.

A roane is also a type of selkie, the seal-folk of northern Scotland and the isles.
Interesting artwork on your site. You'll be in good company here (not including me - I could never master noses ... )
