Aboyne Highland Games Photos - Various

[ThistleDown]

I'm not sure how we segued from Kyle's wonderful photos of the Aboyne Games (as an aside, Aboyne is not a 'Highland' town) to white hose, but as Tobus, I don't recall anyone stating a 'Highland rule' against wearing white hose. Personal preferences, for certain, but what has been said again and again and again, is that there are no rules for dress in the Highlands. The Marquis' choice in waistcoat and another's choice in hose is theirs and no curmudgeon either side of the Highland line (or the pond) can take that away from them. It is not 'traditional', however, in the Highlands to wear white hose; apparently white hose are acceptable custom in Aberdeenshire. Why does this flaky subject keep raising it head, even in the nicest of places?

Why does this flaky subject keep raising it head, even in the nicest of places?

Because A.) I came across yet another "you'd look better if you didn't wear white hose" post elsewhere in the forum and B.) I'm a cranky, dogged SOB.

But enough of this. I normally stay out of the Traditional Kilt Forum, and now I've said my once-every-six-months piece.

Back to your regular Traditional programming.
