    See, if I wear the kilt and then record people's reactions then I'm not doing anthropology, that's psychology. Anthropology is the study of human cultures, so unless I go to a particularly kilted part of Scotland, then I'm compelled to remain pantsed...er, wearing pants.

    There are plenty of venues where a kilt is far less out of the ordinary, such as Fourth Friday here in Fayetteville when the Cape Fear Valley Scottish Clans meets for it monthly "wee dram" night, on during our International Folk Festival. Yes, you need to fade into the woodwork to do the observation, but you could pick your venue to make kilt wearing possible, at least part of the time during your field trip. Like going to the beach in a business suit would not be good if you don't want to be noticed.
