We only really wear kilts for big events, weddings , Rugby and football matches etc It's not like you walk down the high street and see everyone in kilts.

Very safe and very tourist friendly..

I would reccomend Edinburgh and Glasgow for the main touristy parts then hire a car or take a coach up to the Highlands Loch Ness, Culloden, Loch Lomond breath taking scenery!!
