But I am more concerned with formal occasions right now, hence asking about fly plaids. I had intended to wear the kilt in Ferguson ancient and the plaid in Clergy ancient so that the light blues would compliment one another. However now I am thinking more along the lines of Clergy tartan kilt and plaid with a clan crested brooch. I was planning to have a plaid and kilt set in each tartan, and I may try this mix for stricly experimental reasons and post the photos here for the rabble. I wouldn't wear it in public until I get a sense of what it looks like. Because after all, everything is a good idea to the one who thinks it up, and it always looks awsome in the mind's eye.
I honestly have to say that (at least in Scotland) I don't think I've ever seen a member of the clergy wearing anything other than their clan tartan. The only exception that comes to mind was the chaplain at Lee Castle, who usually wore a Peter of Lee tartan kilt when at the Lee, rather than his own MacDonald kilt.
