    I would wear the best kilt you have for a funeral, the white lines would in my estimation not be too flashy. In fact I was at a memorial service a few years ago wearing the MacPherson Red, nobody said it is too flashy and as you can guess it is far flashier a tartan than the Black Watch dress.

    Photos from the funeral of the late Chief John MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod:

    Note that many of the attendees are not wearing a "mourning tartan" (i.e. one with subdued colours), but the standard MacLeod tartans.

    Regards,

    Todd

    Thank you much for that link...

    And thank you e'eryone for the input and encouragement. I'll wear my Black Watch Dress with confidence at such events in the future.
