Proper shirt for wear with a Sheriffmuir

[Baeau]

.....I am not sure why attitudes changed but change they did, but the problem was that there was little kilt attire knowledge available to guide the new kilt wearers----much like the rest of the world now with their questions and advice on this website -----so assumptions were made, often based on guesswork and hearsay and those resulted in different choices being made and perpetuated. For example pirate/jacobite shirts being thought of as traditional, black bow ties, white hose and PC's/sherriffmuirs/montrose jackets/etc., being regarded as suitable, correct even, formal day attire. Added to which of course, the kilt hire shops mushroomed to fulfil the need. Sadly the assorted advice given by the unknowing has perpetuated the differences of opinion of styles and suitability of kilt attire for any given event, between the Highland kilt wearers and those of the rest of Scotland......

Jock, I receive the e-mails from Visit Scotland (formerly Scottish Tourist Board). The link, below, is to their Burns Night Guide. Note the shirt illustrated. To myself, this substantiates your post.
