I’ve always thought Jock here would look quite dashing in loud Macleod! ;)
Actually it is Clan MacLeod of Harris's dress(formal) tartan and in the distant past there was a time when I thought that I cut quite a dash in a MacLeod of Lewis tartan kilt at formal events, sadly it belonged to a deceased uncle who was far slimmer than I was and unfortunately I grew out of it pretty quickly and I passed it on to a cousin.
These days-------the last 25/30 years---- no one(few?) seems to bother about having a dress tartan any more and just make do the Macleod of Harris tartan, or whatever, for all occasions. Before I go on, one needs to remember not all Clans have a Dress tartan. Anyway, it certainly made life less complicated with attire choices and well, its one less kilt in the wardrobe and one less kilt to have to renew!
