mcnice, we call the boots Blundstone here, they are an Australian tradition, a bit like Akubra hats.
Those boots are steel capped, which is one dress requirement of many places i work. Some places also require hardhat and other safety clothing, but no mention yet of not wearing a kilt.

Since I am self employed I have a lot of liberty in these things.

I looked at your gallery, you look like you love the pipes, how long have you been playing?

and what a beautiful shepherd! just like mine, a long-coat, aren't they the most beautiful dogs?
