In older portraits (mainly from Jacobite times) it seems to look more appropriate, though, and I suppose this is because the tartans were more complex, and the pattern was 'broken up' by the wearing of a plaid.

In lieu of my hammer and crucifixion nails (where did I put those anyway?), I'll let you off with a stern glare... ;) and assume that you overlooked the fact that this is not just anybody wearing the "Red&Black MacGregor"... this is THE MacGregor. And after our clan has been hunted with Campbell dogs and bounty hunters and scurrilous government agents, we're still MACGREGOR DESPITE THEM!!! (insert appropriate gestures here). Just to give you another perspective on the matter...

UP THE M'GREGOR!!! ARD CHOILLE!

Good bit about the beard, though. I hadn't realised they were no longer in vogue... go figure.

What?!? Beards not in vogue? good gracious, Wesley, whatever's next? Wizards in trousers???

Since my face has been innocent of razors for 35 years; just let me remain ignorant

[ P.S. Up the MacGregor! ]

Well, if you haven't already gotten your tickets, I fear you may miss next year's ball.

There are very many wonderful pictures of THCD in the magazine section of the Royal Caledonian Ball website.

Wonderful photos David, thank you!!! Matt, whose the chap in the brown day jacket and fawn Balmoral bonnet with lovat green dicing? He is absolutely dressed superbly! I love his day attire (reminds me of my own!) and his cromach is spot on!

Cheers,
