What does the "dicing" mean?

[macwilkin]

I ,we,THINK that dicing became a form of silent protest after the Stewart cause was lost at Cullodon.Remember,the wearing of the Kilt and tartan in general was illegal,what better way of protesting or showing support to one side or other without actually saying anything.Well how about dicing ,or not,your bonnet?Just a thought?

Hmm...sounds a bit like the whole "king accross the water" over the fingerbowl business...but I still think the arguement that dicing is really a form of decoration, as per Reid's theory, rather than a political statement.
