From the pages of the Glynn family tree (complete with MIDI music! ):

Raymond Arcadius Glynn
Raymond left home and joined the Colours - 1916
Born 12 January 1900, Niagara Falls, Canada
Died 6 June 1972, Buffalo, NY

The apron appears to have a buttoned flap for access to the sporran, I would presume.

One of Carol Studebaker's ancestors, Don:

Plucked from the Niven family tree:

Malcolm Campbell Niven, son of Malcolm Wright Niven
and Fannie Field Bridges, in 1887, wearing kilt and kilt pin.
The kilt pin is still in the family.

They mean brooch. Here is is:

The bow he's holding looks a tad big for him.

Australian Nick Freeman has a kiltie in the woodshed, too, he thinks:

Continuing the life in the military theme, here is a postcard from the past by way of the Great War Forum:

Dated Feb 1915, it apparently reads on the back: "Having rotten time here - rotten lot of men
all the Glasgow wasters we receive - otherwise all right comfortably settled in huts and plenty of
spare time as you will observe nothing else to do. No chance of us getting off to the front now
all Kitcheners have to go before the Spec Reserve so I wish you luck when it comes your turn."

Yes, they DO look like they are having a rotten time.

Their jackets don't look so much as tailored as they do pinned back to accommodate their sporrans.

Regards,
Rex.

One last one for today, from kormacurry's blog, her dad:

This picture was taken in Gibralter 1945, whilst
serving in the 15th Scottish Lowland Division. He
was stationed there with Cameronians (Scottish
Regiment) to guard the Straights Of Gibralter [sic]
His regiment was there for around 14 months. He
was about 20 years old. My mum says ¨..Now [you
know] I why I fell for him - a handsome young lad in
his kilt¨ If you look closely you can see a couple of
medal ribbons ... 1939-1945 star, France-Germany
medal. Later he was awarded a couple more medals
... Defence Medal, Victory Medal.

Regards,
Rex.
