Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei waahanga - I te Paenga-whawha 2013, ko McKidd te Grand Marshal o te 15 o nga tau o te Tartan Day Parade i New York City. I taua wā, i whakapuaki ia i tana tautoko mo te motuhake o Scotland, ā, i puta mai te pouri, kāore ia e taea te pōti i te pōti motuhake o Scotland e tū mai ana
i te tau e whai ake nei, nā te mea kāore anō ia kia noho ki Rānana. Mo te mana motuhake o Scotland, i kii a McKidd, "He maha nga taangata e whakaaro ana ka hinga katoa tatou ki runga ki o tatou mata mena ka mahia e tatou. He iwi uaua rawa mātou ki te tuku i ngā mea kia kino, mēnā ka haere mātou ki te whakamātau. He aha e kore ai? He aha e kore ai e whakamatau?"
