Kilt wearing is not for the antisocial or faint hearted and that's for sure. I've been checked many a time and context is always the key. Who it is, where you are. Had myself checked in public last summer, very slowly mind you (by a woman friend of mine) and she wore this cheeky grin the whole time. I forgave her. Maybe I congratulated her.....
My experience has been it's usually fine, but when it's not it boils my blood something terrible.
