If you notice when you look at any given page on the site, the image in the upper right will periodically change, I suppose selecting randomly from a bank of images, that alternates between traditional and historic Highland dress, from the MacLeay portraits primarily, and more modern examples of how tartan is worn from various sources.
I think that the goal here is to show that tartan is both something belonging to tradition and something belonging to modern day fashion, and any comprehensive approach to tartan must consider both aspects.
With that much, I agree wholeheartedly. And I rather like seeing a mix of the traditional and contemporary.
However, I also agree that some of the less modest examples of women's apparell really don't belong on the site for many reasons, not the least of which being that the STA is attempting to attract a younger generation to their site by way of the "Bairns" coloring book section.
