Wearing it soon

[Bugbear]

No one is going to warn of the midges?

I'll bite- Wear your kilt in public, and start doing it as soon as possible. If you think you'll "fit in" in Scotland because you're wearing a kilt, I have news for you. Kilt wearing is nearly as rare in Scotland as it is in the U.S.

Alright I think we have run around the question for long enough. If you want my honest opinion, I would not wear it here if I were you. Sorry.

I would advise that unless you are totally comfortable in your kilt that this is not the right place to try and find your feet so to speak. I have a Denim Union Kilt and when I wore it out a few weeks ago and I got a few comments over and above the usual "what’s the occasion?" and a few people not so sure about it said some things too I could only imagine a leather one would have caused quite a stir in the pub.
My recommendation would have to be that if you have a more "Traditional" (i.e. not leather) kilt to bring with you instead it might be a better idea sorry.
That said if you’re up in my neck of the woods ill buy you a drink for having the guts to buy one never mind wear it.

I've never been bothered by them they just seem to want to keep out of my way so I never really remember to warm people about them
