    The Haig check has a slight dazzle to it, depending on the distance and movement.

    I think you're mixing up your Haigs, we're taking about Gen. Douglas, 1st Earl Haig.

    It's like our nearby Fort MacArthur, not named after the General everyone thinks it is!

    Yes that Haig Check isn't very easy on the eye, is it now?

    Thanks Peter for those links!

    I didn't know about the Tyneside Scottish wearing that. I have seen photos of Northumbrian soldiers playing Northumbrian pipes with shepherd check plaids but otherwise in ordinary uniform (no kilts).
