Kilt in the Background

[macwilkin]

I think it is indeed some sort of medal on a ribbon - of the type you used (or perhaps still do in certain circumstances) to see on European Royalty and / or ambassadors. I've always liked the look but thought it too ostentatious for me to try and pull off.

It appears to be some sort of chivralic order medal on a neck ribbon. I can't quite make out which one it is exactly, though. Quite appropriate for formal affairs -- as long the invitation requests medals & decorations, of course.

Another example would be a civic order, such as the Order of Nova Scotia:

At second glance, it appears the medal might be from the Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, a Roman Catholic order. But again, it's hard to tell -- don't quote me on that! :mrgreen:

Of course, one should only wear one if one is entitled to the medal. ;)

Cheers,
