The picture and your observant comments illustrate exactly what I have been trying to say on various threads on this website. We Scots are not much bothered about everything having to match and to be in absolute pristine condition. I cannot really see what all the fuss is about! I suppose on reflection, that some of the kilt attire that we turn out in is nearly as old as some countries and I should think that Lord Lovat could have had the pick of a whole heap of past family kit. I also would hazard a wee wager that his Lordships wardrobe would not contain a kilt of a tartan that he was not entitled to wear. Nevertheless he has chosen in this picture to dress as he pleases, within certain loose bounderies, as most highlanders choose to do.
