Hi Kiltie as charged!

I play pipes with the Mohawk Valley Frasers Pipes and Drums, and, when the band was formed in 1973, it was originally called the 78th Frasers Highlanders. The band even played in period uniforms (right down to a thatch of genuine bear fur on the bonnets and a leather stock at the neck to protect against bayonet thrusts).

When a certain grade 1 band formed in Canada and became more famous than us (the 78th Fraser Highlanders), we changed our name to Mohawk Valley Frasers.

I've put an image below of what the old uniforms looked like.
