Precisely my point. And what is more the Historic Scotland tartan is optional to wear as it is and I have only seen it worn at Caerlaverock Castle out of all the sites I have visited - most male staff seem to prefer trousers not only at Edinburgh but also at Stirling which is probably Historic Scotland's second most visited site.
As the illustration shows, it's a lovely tartan and I wish more staff would wear it.
