Keep in mind that Erskine was writing a hundred and ten years ago. There might have been unwritten "understandings" that people of his generation would have known, but which have disappeared with time.
I've heard a story about a young wife who wanted to cook roast for her new husband. Before she put the meat in the pan, she cut the end off of it and placed it in the pan with the rest of the cut. The husband asked her why, and she said, "That's how my mother does it." He asked the mother-in-law, and she said, "That's how my mother does it." He asked the grandmother-in-law, and she said, "I never had a pan long enough to cook a whole roast." In other words, there might have been a reason for abstaining from wearing red at one time, but no one remembers it now.

I did notice my mistake and I hope you have noticed that I have excluded you from responsibility of the statement. My apologies to you.

Oh no need to apologise Jock, I just didn't want anyone to think I hold such a view. I am a graduate in Scottish History, and it is something (without being political) I am passionate about.

His Grace, Torquhil Ian Campbell, 13th and 6th Duke of Argyll (Diùc Earra-Ghàidheil), Chief of Clan Campbell (MacCailean Mor).
P.S. - I love the dusty pink coloured hose! I own several pairs, some with dicing on the cuff, and I mostly wear them with my Macpherson hunting tartan kilts. I find the dusty pink colour harmonizes well with darker, or cooler (greens and blues) coloured tartans.

Thanks Kyle, I thought Jock was referring to MacCailean Mor wearing a pink tourie in his bonnet.
