Given the venue of this soiree, I would suggest renting a charlie jacket. The Prince Charlie is the equivalent of a tail coat, whilst the Black Argyll is more like a standard tuxedo jacket. Go all out and dress "to the nines" for this event, how many formal occasions does one get to attend at Edinburgh Castle? :mrgreen:

Planopiper's obversations about hose are spot-on, and if you are interested in a good pair of Tartan(Argyll) hose, I can recommend a company that made mine -- they are not cheap, however, and you do need to provide them with a swatch of tartan so they can match the hose to your kilt. I am very pleased with the pair I ordered.

Cheers,

Todd
