I'm definitely NOT one of nature's peacocks- So take my advice below with the above in mind.
I'm no peacock either, and I'm with you on the Jacobite shirt.

Then again, by English standards, turning up in a kilt makes you something of a peacock!

Thanks for all the comments - I still haven't decided which shoes to be wearing, but I guess this thread has confirmed what I expected - that it's a matter of personal taste more than there being a hard and fast rule. I'm leaning towards the Ghillies at this point just for the "Scottish" look.

The family wedding in a couple of weeks with be only the second time I've worn a kilt in public, and the first departure from the "hire shop look", so I'm probably over-thinking it at this point, but trying to avoid a serious faux-pas for the initiated at the same time. Hell, most people there will never have seen a kilt outside of watching "Braveheart", so they won't be picking fault anyway.
