Matching tie to the kilt

[Jock Scot]

Oh dear Richard, here we go again with pictures proving everything and nothing. There are pictures available and seen on this website, where it is clear for all to see that the Atholl Highlanders wear about three different styles(hues) of plaid and the last time I actually saw them live(2011) I think I counted more. Some, I grant you, do match! So it does depend, more than a bit, on which picture we choose to look at.

I know it is a hobby horse of mine ,but one needs to be careful when drawing conclusions from pictures, regardless of the point of view we are trying to express. I do agree with you though, that these differences of tartans when worn together do often, but not always, add to the overall look rather than diminish it.
