I stay(live) within a few miles of MacPherson territory and have done on and off for most of my life. To see anyone wearing Highland attire regularly in the whole of Scotland is unusual and wearing a balmoral bonnet is even more unusual. MacPherson country is no different on a day to day basis. However, at the time of the MacPherson Clan gathering then the Clan is very successful, possibly more than most, in bringing out the Highland attire.
Then, the balmoral is seen more regularly around and about and yes it is noticeable that the “ untied bonnet” is more common. I don’t think that the “normal local man in the street” gives it thought one way or the other. The local and visiting Clan members might, but I doubt anyone else even notices.
