New fangled Jock? The United Kingdom came into being in 1603 with the Union of the Crowns, Britain didn't come into being for another 103 years in 1707 - not so new fangled methinks,
AND- sorry Jock, I have to be at odds with you again, but in the nicest possible way I hope.
I normally never wear badges on my lapels, except for my medals if the function requires it. However, at the Gathering, my American Chief and his good Lady presented us with Clan Badges to wear on our jackets.
It would have been churlish not to do so I thought, although it is rarely done here, our American Clanspeople tend to set great store by them, I really have no problem with it either way - the added dimension that all our folks from the new world add to kilt wearing is like a breath of fresh air at times, even though I could never bring myself to do or wear some of the things that they embrace.
GOOD ON THEM...

Me wearing Badges

Oh, and if its good enough for this fella, its good enough for me...
