Thanks everyone for the quick responses! Definitely appreciate the information. As you can tell, I'm a newbie. I just got my kilt last fall. Appreciate being set straight on the the ghillie brogue/brogue front and the tartan tie front. I don't think either the 30th or 32nd Infantry have regimental ties, so a nice solid will do. I'm sure I have a shirt that would be fine. I plan to acquire a jumper while there, so depending on the weather, that might work too.

Obviously, from my signature, I'm talking about the chief of Clan MacLaren, Donald MacLaren. I've only exchanged a few e-mails personally, but I do know a couple of people that know him well and I would suspect he is much like you describe Cluny MacPherson. In Perthshire, but sans castle...appears we were a bit too warlike for our own good and ended up rather more depleted than is consonant with land and title accumulation.
