I absolutely love this photo, one day I'd like to try out the day plaid, however as with the crommach they seem to be reserved for special ocassions these days, and what a pity that is.

Great photo. I find the differing styles of wearing the Balmoral most interesting.

My thanks as well for the great photo! There is a lot of good detail here. My first thought after checking the sticks was , "Wow, Look at all the plaids!"
Sticks were regularly "worn" by gents in the 19th C. and it's nice to see that continued here. What are the white "Tau" shaped lapel badges? Local club/organization?
I've never had good luck making a crommach but this is impetus to try again.

In the 30's everyone wore some sort of hat. Especially at any kind of outdoor event.
I did notice the ribbons are tied in a bow.

I would have to guess that they signified Members or Stewards of the Argyllshire Gathering.
Similar ribbons are worn today.
