Kilt in the Background

[macwilkin]

I think it is indeed some sort of medal on a ribbon - of the type you used (or perhaps still do in certain circumstances) to see on European Royalty and / or ambassadors. I've always liked the look but thought it too ostentatious for me to try and pull off.

It appears to be some sort of chivralic order medal on a neck ribbon. I can't quite make out which one it is exactly, though. Quite appropriate for formal affairs -- as long the invitation requests medals & decorations, of course.

Another example would be a civic order, such as the Order of Nova Scotia:

At second glance, it appears the medal might be from the Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, a Roman Catholic order. But again, it's hard to tell -- don't quote me on that! :mrgreen:

Of course, one should only wear one if one is entitled to the medal. ;)

Cheers,

Some civic and fraternal organizations award medals like that for certain honors.

I'm a member of such an organization. I was given the honor, but never got a medal, dammit!

If you've got it, flaunt it - Oh, and that goes for medals too!!!;);)

I believe that was the advice of the late Lord Louis Mountbatten (may he rest in peace!) to a young Duke of Rothesay, Hamish! :mrgreen:

I noticed this picture on a worst dressed celebrities listing. Notice the couple in the background.

I am still new to kilts, and I dont have anything traditional yet...what is on his neck? It looks like a military medal.

No military medal tnat I've ever seen.

How did you manage to spot the kilt in the background? The foreground picture is just too distracting.
