Broadswords?

[James]

The highlander was renowned for being over armed whenever possible-swords/pistols etc and more etc.

Today unless as a part of a uniform-enactement: a skean dhu suffices, and that includes games.

The thinking being highland dress rather than fancy dress.

There might be some kilted military functions where a sword is expected, but other than the aforementioned reenactments and such, swords are not regularly worn. Of course, there may be exceptions here and there, but not as a general rule.
