Let the Jonesing Begin

Unfortunately my fiancee and I reviewed our finances, and it looks like we will only be able to go to England for this trip. Still an excellent trip, but I was looking forward to seeing the Emerald Isle. I'm still getting all of the details together with a friend that lives in Daventry, so we may try to set aside some time to drive up to Scotland. I would love to go there, and it would be no where near the cost of going over to Ireland.

Can't go wrong with a shirt and tie, with hose and some wing tip shoes if you're going dressed down. I went formal with the Prince Charlie jacket and all that. But, then of course my bride's dress cost thousands and had some French guy's name attached to it. haha.

I would suggest that you take a look at the Show us your pics page there are both a formal thread and a dressy thread where members have posted pictures.
It might be a good place to start.
Here are the links:

Dressy

I would say if you are going dressy you can't go wrong with an Argile Jacket, semi dress or dress sporran, white dress shirt with french cuffs, cufflinks, and a tie, kilt hose, flashes, sgian dubh, and a kilt pin. You can most likely rent all of the above if you need to. Good luck with it and remember to post pics when you can.

I drive to Coventry in June for my D-day landings event and can usually do the drive from here, close to the English Border, in around four and a half hours if I get a clear road.
