The Cadets at my School

Looking closely at the photo, Hamish, you can tell that the girl certainly is wearing a kilted skirt, as there is a pin on the left front. I feel just like you do about women wearing the identical uniforms to the men's.

Of course Hunting Stewart happens to be my favourite tartan.

Well it is a sure bit easier on the eyes than Royal Stewart. Depending on how my kilt savings go, I might add that to my list. (I have a Stewart ancestor, really far back, but they are there..)

I like those uniforms, especially the striped hose. The red tunic reminds of the tunic that the RCMP pipe bands wear.

Wonderful uniforms. There is a lot of pride in that. Good for you and your mates.

If you're going to have to wear a uniform to school, that's the kind to wear. Everybody looks grand! Great photo. Did you take that?

A smart looking group of cadets! TSJ what is the clan crest badge? Could you show us a close up of it?

It isn't a clan crest badge; rather it is the crest of HM The Queen of Scots ( a lion sejant affronté Gules armed and langued Azure, Royally crowned Proper holding in his dexter paw a sword and in his sinister a sceptre, both Proper).

Thanks for the ID. As I wrote the word Clan it didn't feel right.

Hello Mael Coluim, glad to meet you. I am trying to find a bigger version of
the crest, it's the crest of the Ministery of defence and the Queens coat of arms for Scotland (well part of it).

Thanks, TSJ! Look forward to seeing it.
