I've got a convention next weekend, with a formal banquet. I'll be wearing the kilt with my Prince Charlie jacket and vest, my fly plaid, ghillie brogues and, for the first time, my new dirk.

I know the dirk is over the top, but I don't care. Maybe I'll cut my steak with it, just for show. I'll be the only kilted guy in the whole room, as far as I know.

I love that stuff.
You can never be 'over dressed' according to Sir Thomas Innes of Learney (Lord Lyon King of Arms). This is what he has to say in his 1938 book 'The Tartans of the Clans and Families of Scotland' - 'Attempts by self-conscious lowlanders to convert the picturesque dress of the Gael into a "quiet style" and to deprive the garb of it's ornaments or reduce it to the drab monotony of Anglo-Saxon evening clothes are un-Scottish and contemptible.' - NOW THERE'S A MAN WHO COULD SPEAK HIS MIND !
