    Offtopic, but I find it interesting how for several decades "the face of the Games" has been Drum Major Joe Hosch, who always appeared in Full Dress. The baton has been handed to Dave Melton, who likewise always appears in Full Dress. That's the public image of the Highlander: the kilted Drum Major in Full Dress with feather bonnet.

    Dave:



    A Drum Major wearing the simpler Argyll kit, especially with an all-black kilt, isn't going to capture the photographer's eye, or the public imagination.

    The motto of the day? Don't underestimate the power of a kilt!

    The black fabric is actually a true black on black Tartan called Ben Dubh.
    I have seen your car. It is one darn fine car!
