Can I offer a bit of advice? OK, I am assuming that is alright!!!!!! Go steady on greens,particularly dark greens, when wet(a certainty in Scotland!)greens look black and stick out like a sore thumb. Many of the pictures here show a lush summer green which is rarely the colour of the surrounding hills during the stalking season(red deer in particular). There are stalkers who will not even take a guest out on the hill (Glen Lyon for example) if they are dressed in green------if you can get to see the book on Estate tweeds it will give you a guide to colours that various parts of the Highlands have and they are those particular colours for a very good reason.
Getting back to green----wet green aka black! Any stalker will know that it is movement that usually is the give away and a black "blob" moving, even gently, across the hillside will be spotted by the deer miles away-------black is the one colour that is rarely seen out on the hill in the highlands.
