I saw a large poster-sized photograph of an outfit much like that in a kilt hire shop in Glasgow in 2004.

It had a white Prince Charlie, white waistcoat, white bow tie, white kilt, white fur sporran, white hose, white flashes, and... wait for it... black ghillies.

What a pity to get so close to glorious hideous perfection, only to come up short! One would have thought that they could have found a pair of white ghillies somewhere.

This one is strange, what with the black flashes. Whatever were they thinking?
