How did women wear the tartan? Would it have been a dress, shawl, scarf, any of the above?

I'm sure that's going to depend on the time frame. However, I did a google search and found portraits, illustrations and photos from the 1800s with tartan dresses, jackets, dress & jacket, shawls, long skirts, skirt & sash, coats, and hats.

My brother is planning a trip to Royal and Ancient St. Andrews in a few months. One the map, that looks very close to Monikie. Would it be a reasonable day trip? Would you cross the Firth of Tay or go around?

Google maps is showing that it's about a 40 minute drive each way. Closer to an hour and a half each way if he relies on public transportation. All of the suggested routes cross the Firth of Tay.
