Colin:Have you noticed that James Bond has his flashes at the front!!
Ackwell : I've seen Nr2 before It looks a good choice .He's on my list

Ah, but David it was the Aussie that was following the most beloved Bond (a Scot). You can't expect those Aussies to get it right their first try now can you? You know what those guys are like with their kilts, their mixed up seasons, and vegemite....wink wink nudge nudge ;-)

You can always make your own, assuming you can find tartan in a suitable scale: http://www.leviathanstudios.com/figures/macjoe/

I've seen a pipe band or two wearing flashes in the front. And I saw a discussion about it somewhere... maybe at viperpiper.org?

I've seen, somewhere on the web, a discussion of wearing highland dress that contended that the flashes should be worn with their forward edge over the laces of your shoes. The article took a VERY traditionalist approach, too. I think I've got the url on my machine at home, I'll try to remember to look for it tonight. I can see how it would happen, the flashes, after all, are imitating the garters of pre-elastic days, and it would be the easiest position to tie the knot in.

Come to think of it, I wear my flashes like that (not full forward but about halfway between front and side) because that's how my grandfather conditioned me to do it, lo these many years ago. He even wanted me to wear the flashes on my Boy Scout knee socks like that, but I managed to hold the line on that one. Peer pressure, you know.

I recall reading the front edge of the flashes should line up with the shin bone.
