    My thanks as well for the great photo! There is a lot of good detail here. My first thought after checking the sticks was , "Wow, Look at all the plaids!"
    Sticks were regularly "worn" by gents in the 19th C. and it's nice to see that continued here. What are the white "Tau" shaped lapel badges? Local club/organization?

    I've never had good luck making a crommach but this is impetus to try again.

    I would have to guess that they signified Members or Stewards of the Argyllshire Gathering.
    Similar ribbons are worn today.
