I've always appreciated Highland dress, but I think this forum over the years has taught me to value even more the traditions behind it (a great big thank you to gentlemen such as Jock Scot, MacMillan of Rathdown, & Sandy aka JSFMACLJR; and more recently Rex aka ThistleDown, & Kyle aka Creagdhubh for the 'lessons')
