Plaids and Baldricks

[Robertson]

Hey there! Welcome to the board!

I actually am a Rennaisance reenactor myself. My research has shown me that the plaid was worn on whichever side leaves the sword arm uninhibited. If you're a lefty, wear the plaid from the right shoulder. Baldrics can be worn on either side, so if you're a lefty, wear it accordingly.

So Right: I think on the movie Rob Roy (I know but). The young man in the
Clan was a lefty. And wore the plaid from the right.

I haven't actually watched Rob Roy for years. I don't remember what the costuming looked like. I need to go and watch it again with my current eyes.
