I had a similar experience at the highland games in Chatham Ontario this past summer. A very Scottish lady complimented me on the kilt I was wearing - (Xmarks tartan) - and asked me if I was from Scotland. When I revealed I was born in Ontario, she looked puzzled, shrugged, and said... "Well *pause* it's a nice tartan anyway"

Other Scots I've run into thought it was great.

People can be funny sometimes.
