Thank you very much for the input, gentlemen. 
To complicate things a tad here Ryan, there are more than some in the Highlands who would regard extravagance as being more than "a little off". Please remember that the Highlands is not generally a wealthy area even by some basic standards and many native Highlanders do not own a kilt for the simple reason that they have other priorities for their limited cash. Those that have money, even a lot of money, see no merit whatsoever in flaunting that fact and in fact, take considerable efforts to keep a low profile..
