Keepers of the Kingdom

If I were the Marquess of Huntly, I might have chosen garters of a different colour, but I quite like yellow hose.

It is interesting that you dislike Lord Aboyne's horsehair sporran so much, as I think it to be a very attractive one indeed. One rarely sees hair sporrans worn in the daytime, but there are a number of Scots who do wear them. Lord Lovat springs to mind. They certainly were quite popular in the 19th century as day wear. I personally would not choose to wear one until the evening, but Aboyne certainly is dressed quite traditionally.

Aye, Sandy...I like the yellow hose as well. It's hard to imagine "the Cock o' the North" wearing a subdued colour of hose.
