Royal Regiment of Scotland Kilt Uniform

Interesting – yes, these are no different to civilian style buckles, other than in colour. A nice little nod to history as you say perhaps, but it does also give a cleaner look, with the buckles not standing out at all, which probably works well in focusing the attention on the kilt itself and some of the other more important elements of the uniform, rather than the straps.

Today, it's unusual to see two-proged buckles on civilian kilts. I really like them and had the military ones used on my recent kilt.

It’s certainly an inch higher – not quite sure it’s two, though it’s a little tricky to judge exactly to be honest!

It was certainly 2 inches in WWII era military kilts which were intended to be worn with the Battledress Blouse.
