**cessna152towser** · 31st May 10, 01:47 AM

from the Scottish Borders.
Most of my relatives are out there in BC, Vancouver, Chillawack, Victoria, Sooke, Courtenay, Campbell River etc. and I hope to be back out there next spring.

Welcome, from Inverness-shire. Here is a tartan option that my wife wears on occasion.

**cessna152towser** · 31st May 10, 02:58 AM

As an alternative to the option suggested by Jock, your lady companion may choose to wear a jacket in a tartan which matches your kilt, either with or without a hat:-

Welcome from Victoria, BC.

and double welcome from Valley Forge, PA.

Oh bother, I knew I shouldn't have chosen MacBean as my alias. What was I thinking!

There is bound to be more of us Mark

Thank you for the feedback everyone. Traditionally though I still have no answers

What about aristiads or something like that? I hear it is a type of sash that would be worn with a regular dress of sorts. I'm wondering from a more how does one dress traditionally as a couple?

Thanks for all the welcoming

Again, welcome to XMarks. I'm a long ways off, but chose a name which reflects a passion and preference, having spent a fair amount of time in the Keremos and Princeton area.
As for the issue of women's skirts, I admit my lack of expertise and bow to those more knowledgable.

I hope you don't mind me trying to explain. Others will no doubt have their own view on this, but as a rough guide:-

Traditional Highland Scots attire= Attire that is still worn today as current "everyday" wear, although probably without a too modern slant to it. Something like my and Cessna's pictures above. There is traditional "dress"(formal) attire to consider too.

Historical Highland Scots attire= Attire that is not everyday/evening "dress" wear with a distinct historical (accurate too) slant.

Theatrical attire= Attire with little accuracy to fact , but with a Highland Scottish slant.

I am unclear if you actually mean traditional, or perhaps you are meaning something else? I not trying to be cleaver, but it would help with the advice given if we know exactly what you are wanting.
