    Which all of this got me thinking... is there any outfit, any at all, in which a white kilt would look good?

    A white kilt with a black jacket? Red jacket? Tweed jacket? Tartan jacket? It's all hideous, at least how I'm visualising it.

    I have seen a number of top-level pipers wear entirely black outfits... that look is rather popular now. The kilt is either plain black, or the "Black Isle" tartan.

    Another popular look is to have a normal tartan kilt but everything else black.

    Or in some cases a contrasting necktie- I saw the World Champion Saint Lawrence O Toole Pipe Band wearing black shirts and black waistcoats with silver neckties.

    White doublets are an entirely different matter: all the kilted Highland regiments used to wear them, in No 3 Dress.

    And bandsmen wore them. Here's John Rennie of the 72nd Highlanders:



    Here's a somewhat strange white doublet...



    I like the Sheriffmuir in the OP better.

    and now for something completely different...
