Aren't they lowlanders anyway?;-)

In the Argyll shot, a guest in the background is clearly wearing a morning coat, therefore his day jacket and waistcoat in dark blue worsted suiting (like my gray borrowed form the POW) with formal sporran would seem to be the highland convention for that level of formality. I don't have "So you're Going to Wear the Kilt" handy, but I believe Thompson details much the same for daytime formal and /or adapting the black argyle jacket w/o silver buttons, hitting much the same note.
The Marquess of Lorne (as he was when he was married ) wore a doublet of tweed to his wedding, not worsted. There is no need for the Duke of Argyll or any of his family, to consult that cheap and most-times wrong , wee book by Thompson.
