Kilts and costumes

[Jock Scot]

Ok,I am sorry if I have ruffled a few feathers ,but on reading the threads here, I wonder if my idea of costume is the same as yours?

My definition of Highland attire is:-Normal day/evening wear that people wear,with the kilt, as a matter of course,should they choose to do so.Uniforms,military or civilian,worn with the kilt are uniforms first and Highland attire second and are not considered as "costume".

Costume:-This covers anything that is worn by actors/re-enactment fans/Halloween participents etc.etc.Their clothing is worn for the effect that they are trying to achieve and has absolutely nothing to do with Highland attire.

Well, we may not agree even now and I conceed that it is all down to personal interpretation and choice.

Perhaps we should meet in "Riverkilt's field" that he so wisely talked about.If we do,mine's a large Talisker!
