Don't often paraphrase ol' Striped Tony, but this photo is definitely: GRRRRREAT!
The detail I noticed most was the "pancake" positioning of the balmorals, which I guess is pretty traditional; I wear my balmoral every day, but give mine a good, firm tug over-right, sort of beret style, so my cap badge stands up nice & straight, and the toorie is off-set a little to the left side of my noggin.
I remember visiting my son-in-law (Clan Cunningham) a week after gifting him with his first balmoral, a beautiful blue one, and he was actually proud to show me how he'd cut-off the toorie!
Well, no accounting for taste, even when it's 20-something horrid; but as those first TV ads for the Wii game systems were still new & topical at the time, I did show him an aggrieved face and remarked in my best pseudo-Shaolin accent:
"Your ancestors are weeping !!"
