    Knoxy10. A word of caution!

    I have just looked through Alex's(CessnaT) pictures and they do give a very good idea of what people wear in America to a Highland Games. That is perfectly fine, but, But, BUT if we exclude the bands and dancers who do sail under rather more strict parameters than the normal civilian kilt wearer does, then you need to be very aware that very few (2, I think and one of those was the collie dog!) in the pictures are dressed as a traditional Scot would wear. Does it matter? Not one jot.

    However you do need to be aware of this, while you are on your upward learning curve. Should you wish to note the subtle and not so subtle differences in thinking, then go to the traditional kilt wearing section here on this website and look at the pictures there. You will of course choose your own route through the kilt wearing minefield, but it is as well for you to be aware of the differences.
