Kilted wedding in the Trossachs

**MacRobert's Reply** · 12th October 10, 11:07 AM

At the end of July I conducted my son's wedding in the Trossachs. Some of you may be surprised, but there was no dress code. However, being Scotland, kilts were in evidence at both the wedding and the subsequent reception. So here are a few pics for your entertainment.

Father and son before the wedding - double scotch on the rocks perhaps?

The wedding - kilts and big hats

Posing for the camera

The reception - Stripping the Willow

More later if I can work the technology.

Congratulations and great pictures. I love the way everyone looks so proud in 'Posing for the camera'

Congratulations to everyone!

In the 4th photo, it appears the gentleman has his sporran turned all the way to the rear for dancing. Is that accurate? I've pushed mine to the hip but never all the way to the rear. I might have to try that next time.

Thank you for posting the photos. Always good to see how other people dress for formal (and not so formal) occasions. How to see more!

What a great wedding! Everyone looks like they are having so much fun! Love your brass cantled sporran.

Great to see all the kilts being worn by Scots. We hear so much about how the kilt is NOT worn in Scotland, it is good to see evidence to the contrary. I am reminded of Ambrose Bierce's taxonomy: "Kilt, noun. A costume sometimes worn by Scotchmen in America and Americans in Scotland."

Not so, not so...

Great pics, congratulations!

Thanks for all the comments - yes it was a very relaxed and fun wedding.

Cavscout - I suspect the sporran started on the hip and ended up at the back as a result of sustained and rapid swinging during the Orcadian Strip the Willow!

BobsYourUncle - The brass cantle was found in a box of odd cantles in a second-hand kilt shop and bought for very little. I made the bag from a camel-skin briefcase that I bought many years ago in the souks of Marrakesh. I wonder if a camel-leather sporran is a first?
