    Perhaps the as-yet unasked question is this:

    Is it even possible to truly wear Traditional Highland Attire without emulating the style that is worn by Scots in the Highlands?

    That is, perhaps when folks throughout the world "modify" Traditional Highland Attire to fit their own fashion sensibilities it ceases to be Traditional Highland Attire and becomes something else.

    Cordially,

    David

    I believe that is Rex's well made point, exactly. "Tradition" is the historical constant root that is not open to "Fashion's" influence, but rather, the unchanging point where we all begin, and return to, when designing fashion.

    Being of the blood, but not of the culture, I truly appreciate my friends of the Highlands participating and guiding me in my education. Thank you!

    David, my answer is "no", but I think we might be better to exit this thread on the Duke of Rothesay and go to "What is Traditional Highland Dress" for further discussion. What say you and Brooke?

    Rex,

    Great suggestion. My apologies for a "mini-hijack". The discussion is continued here:
