Well, when asked the inevitable question whilst wearing the kilt (no, not the one about pants, the OTHER one ) I always answer, "I'm as Scottish as Prince Albert" (since I'm nearly 100% German). I usually am the recipient of a blank stare, since most people have no grasp of history. Sometimes I get a polite nod and smile, which is basically the same thing. Rarer still is a small chuckle.
