My question has to do with visiting churches. From the various guide books I've been reading, many Catholic churches prohibit entry to people wearing shorts and other such "immodest" clothing. Am I likely to encounter any problems if I wanted to see the inside of a church while wearing a kilt? Any suggestions on how to handle a frantic docent who is trying to shoo me out because of my "skirt"?
You could always carry a light pair of slacks in a backpack or something just in case. I know if I were travelling that far I would hate to miss out on seeing one of the cathedrals just because someone didn't think the kilt was appropriate. While you're visiting another continent is not the time to push for your "right" to wear the kilt.
