Cool about that Oban photo!

Did y'all notice that few men are wearing flashes? This is on all fours with The Highlanders of Scotland. Also most of the hose are a similar middle shade.

Also note the interesting ghillies worn by the gent at centre.

They are more than likely wearing fawn/beige coloured hose (I have worn them quite a bit too - they tend to go well with any tartan) as that was very popular back then - just look at various advertisements and books regarding Highland dress during this particular time period, and you can easily see how popular this colour of hose really was. I like the look of the hose without flashes, but just a garter - unseen - holding up the hose. The ghillies look good too, especially since the grotesque, thick soled versions had not been invented yet!

Cheers,
