Look at all of the colour!!!

Thanks for the superb photos, Sandy! What fine examples of Highland day attire at one of the best Highland gatherings I have ever been to (besides my own clan's gathering in Badenoch, of course!). I do agree, location plays a vital role in one's Highland dress. In regards to your fine set of photos, I always love seeing the use of cromachs and blanket (day) plaids...true Highlanders in true form!

Cheers,

Indeed, Kyle, look at all the colour!
I especially like the picture near the end of the two drummers leading a party of men in mostly red kilts. One is also wearing a waistcoat in the same tartan as his kilt.
The drummers’ kilts are a fine contrast in (mostly) purple.
Many thanks, Kyle and Sandy, for posting these pictures.
Regards,
Mike

That is a good look. I'll have to show it to my wife. That would be nice for our morning or evening walks.

We don't get many days over 80. Sweaters are worn through June.

That would be the Duchess of Argyll and a very 21C Highland lady look. For other ideas to pass on for Christmas, look to House of Bruar and Johnsons of Elgin (for example).

Actually, I believe it is Charlie MacDougall's young wife,Lise, a very charming and pretty lady...and I believe the Games Steward of the Argyllshire Gathering.

Oh dear, I must get my eyes (and my memory) professionally checked. I think I'm going to stick by House of Bruar and Johnson's of Elgin, though, until someone tells me they are really House of Johnson and Bruar of Elgin or something.

Thank you for the gentle correction, Sandy.

I thought she was blonde?

Cheers,

I do like that look - and I am certain my beautiful wife can pull it off in style! Awesome!
