Thanks, Colin and Nathan, for this excellent article.
Thanks also to everyone who contributed, in so many different ways.
What I like best are the pictures of kilted gents alongside non-kilted folk, to show "equivalence".
Well done indeed.

Those equivalent types of photos are surprisingly hard to come by. The formal daywear one showing Jock Scot in a wedding party with people in morning dress is particularly good. It is much easier to find Xmarkers dressed in tweed & tie daywear surrounded by people who are dressed at another level of formality entirely (i.e., informal tshirt and shorts at a Highland Games), which speaks to differences between the traditional preference for a smart turnout and the increasingly casual approaches of the modern era.

Great work!
Two thoughts, for what it's worth:
First, in the historical section you cite Culloden, then the Sir Walter Scott/Victorian influence, but then when you state that--
"Contemporary THCD settled into its current form in the early 20th century and was largely codified by the 1950s."
--I want more detail. What influenced that codification? The war? The British royal family? The evolution of the Highland Games both in Scotland and the Scottish Diaspora?
Second, are fairy wings an iconic THCD accessory? ;-)

@pbutts......I don't think I've seen that tartan before. What is it? I really like it.

As I recall that's David Pope with his daughter, but I can't help you ID the tartan.
