If I were to visit Scotland...

I would insist on hose pulled up. To my old army eyes any thing else is damned scruffy. Foot wear, for me, would be brogues( wingtips---not those awful ghillie things--- we are talking about functional day wear here, not posing)a good pair of boots would fit the bill if going on rough terrain, they have no place in town though.QUOTE]

I have to differ with you just slightly Jock. Outside of work I'm rarely not kilted these days & I tend to dress to suit the weather. In winter I'd nearly always wear hose up, but in summer it's often leather sandals & no hose, or walking boots & hose either up or down, depending on how hot it is. I'd never wear hose scrunched down with shoes however.

Sporran is always a leather "pouch" type - I don't own an silver mounted one! Personal preferences I guess.

Fair enough, each to their own.No doubt your weather in the sunny south is much warmer than ours further north!

I'm not sure about the sun Jock, but we are closer to the Gulf Stream

I visit my family there a couple of times a year and always go kilted. Not trad but Uk'ed. Everyone looks (as they do everywhere) because they're not used to seeing one like that. But most are up for it.
