That was what I was figuring, but I was completely not sure.
Thanks much for the verification.

I normally use effigies and manuscript miniatures to research, but none of the dedicated sites cover Scottland. Thanks to Woodsheal for that effigy. I'd say that he's wearing a gamboised gorget and akatin (padded long tunic and collar).
Looks right to my eyes, though I'm obviously no expert here.
