Highland costume in world context

[Highland Logan]

Note the peaceful folk from around the World Proudly displaying their folk dress and the Scots hacking each other to pieces as they swing their claymores. When you consider the history of the Celtic peoples, "peaceful" does not come to mind.

To be fair, the Scots chosen are from a war painting from the 1700's, and everything else is a modren photograph. If he wanted to, OCR could have chosen a colour photo from any of the large balls, which still take place. You would still find full tartan dress, jackets of many colours, styles and cuts, as well as a variety of hose, argyle, diced, and the odd single colour. Not to mention the many styles of sporrans.

To whit, Culloden 1746 by a David Morier an Anglo-Swiss painter retained by the Duke of Cumberland...
but also Macdonnel of Glengarry fifty years later, who despite being a prize ****, did at least cut a fine figure.
