Try going out for a meal in England with one on... you get some strange looks and if your out and about after dark well - lets just say your fair game for the odd heckle...
I like to think thier jealous - after all us Scots have kilts & the English have Morris Dancers... LOL! I know what I'd rather don for a night out - and it aint a pigs bladder on a stick or jingle bells on my ankles!
After reading all the replies I too think that the woman meant it as a compliment. A guy saying the same thing would probably be sarcasm. Also let's not get hung up on the word skirt viewed as feminine attire and kilt being masculine. A kilt after all is a kilted skirt.
I hope you said, "Thank you!", after you stopped laughing.
Actually, I managed to keep my composure well enough to let her know all about my kilt and accessories. She wound up on my shuttle bus back to our car and we all had a good chat. I really appreciated how curious folks were about highland wear at the games.

Hey, don't knock Morris Dancing, it's turning into a contact sport!
