Gordon Highlanders Etiquette

[keith]

I'll be receiving a Gordon Modern from Rocky for my Birthday. I'm completely stoked about this kilt. My question for you guys is about a kilt pin.

A part of me thinks it would be appropriate to obtain a gordon highlanders kilt pin to honor the military heritage of that tartan. http://www.gordonhighlanders.com/ghs...p&pID=31&cID=9 But another part says that that may go too far as to imply I was some how affiliated with the regiment.

I know we've had the "Whatever you wear, wear it respectfully" discussion but because this is the actual uniform of that regiment I feel I need to be a bit more careful.

Also I noticed a sporran at North of Saint Andrews with a Gordon Highlanders emblem on the flap that poses the same dilema.

Would adding these Gordon Highlander accessories be too much?

As a veteran of The 1st Bt.THE GORDON HIGHLANDERS,I would just like to say that I am always delighted to see non regimental wearers of our tarten.Please however,wear it with great respect,Winston Churchill called our regiment the finest that ever was,and I believe him.Affiliate regiments are:The London Scottish Regiment {also affiliated to The Toronto Scottish regiment:-sharing the hodden grey kilt}and The Cape Town Scottish.

Cavscout... no matter what you get for information, and no matter what you decide to do, I have to commend you completely on "asking before wearing". Good gawd I wish more guys would do that before they invest in something that's just not right! I've seen it WAY too many times, and the guys are turned-off on the whole Celtic heritage and tradition because of it.

I'll raise my "coffee cup" to you (it's too early for anything else). [_]D
