I also recommend a waistcoat when wearing the Eldredge knot with highland attire because even with a long tie the tie gets quite short. I have a 16.5" neck and I do like to rock the Eldredge and Trinity knots from time to time. IMHO they look fantastic when done well. The key is to take care when tying and be willing to start all over a few times if you didn't do it right because the Eldredge and Trinity knots are not very forgiving knots. You need to pick your tie and collar well and I recommend the waistcoat.
I also think many classic knots can look good but again you have to tie them well and consider your collar choice and the tie material and pattern and match them well.
If you want to try out knots you haven't used before, then I can recommend an app if you have an iPhone. It's simply called How to Tie a Tie.
Good luck!
