I blame the hire shops - "give us even more money to look like a true highland gent", and have those that know shake their heads in bafflement.
Some of the hire charges for "full traditional dress" are enough to buy a proper (in every sense) outfit...

Ah...but I do like the "purple" based tartan. 
But I cannot find which it is.
