One of the many reasons that I chose to wear the kilt at all is that I do not want to look like every other male attending a function and so, if I am able to avoid even that kilted uniform look by not wearing those ridiculous ghillies, I will do so! I should rather like a pair of the buckled, formal dress-shoes but I just never seem to get around to doing anything about it!
I'm with you Hamish. When the budget allows, I'm going to invest in some of the buckled Culloden shoes myself.
