Too Traditional?

[Jock Scot]

Kyle I thought of you when I saw this picture. I am not sure who he is but he is a really dapper man.

A great picture to use as an example. We don't know exactly the context of the picture, so baring that in mind and there do appear to be two or three kilted gentlemen wearing historical attire in the picture .

Let us just take the two fine upstanding gentlemen in the foreground. The one on the left of our picture is wearing historical attire---with traditional adaptations and the gentlemen on the right is wearing attire that leans towards the theatrical, with traditional adaptations. Both are very smart of that there is no doubt and probably there is a very good reason that they are dressed as they are-------not least, that they choose too!

But as examples of traditional kilted attire , they are not.

I agree completely and that is precisely what I was getting at in my post too, Jock. To reiterate, I believe both chaps may have been attending the Culloden Memorial Service (hence the abundance of historical Highland attire - more can be seen in the background) and reopening of the Culloden Visitor's Centre in the summer of 2009. Many Macphersons, amongst other clans whose ancestors actually took part in the battle (the Macphersons arrived too late - long story), were present for the occassion.

Cheers,
