Clan Chiefs and how they pleat their kilts

[MacLowlife]

We used to have supporters on our arms, but they turned away in disgust and then left whilst everyone's back was turned.



Thanks, MoR for the Order of Precedence tutorial. I have to hand it to the Duke of Argyll. He is an energetic guy, apparently, and has taken on several huge tasks, not the least of them raising three children. In addition to the famous ( well at least on XMarks) red velvet doublet, he also has a nice pair of pink kilt hose

and a lovely wife.

A Happy Burns' Day to all

There's a figure in the 1860's set of watercolours The Highlanders Of Scotland wearing those fish-shaped clasps on his jacket: he is John MacLachlan, a "post-runner", the son of a ferryman, and not nobility of any sort.
