Good on the guy for wearing the garment. But for a pub in the Northern Territories of Australia, the reaction isn't exactly surprising to me.

Straightfairy, calling a man in a kilt in Scotland or at Highland Games in America "cute" might get your face reshaped. Maybe not in Australia tho...but, then again..maybe there too. :D :D
I had to remove this signature as it was being used on Twitter. This is my OPINION, you NEEDN'T AGREE.

I am sure it is not that big of a deal but did anyone else notice the skirt he was wearing was a ladies mini-tartan skirt? To start off with the buckles were on the wrong side. I suspect that added to his reception. The whole piece was done as a joke, for which I had a good laugh also.
