    No problem Ted, Glad I could help, somewhere on the site is a picture of me wearing them with my SWK Black Watch kilt.

    Here it is I think.

    I've seen these, and so far they're the ones I'm most likely going to go with; I just wanted to know if their were Scottish-period boots.

    I wear a pair of black plain boots when wearing the kilt casually. Our football fans wear boots with the socks rolled down to the matches.

    There are a lot of people doing that now a days. As I posted before, I like to wear the low lace up boots, black or brown, or hiking boots. I usually do that with scrunchy hose. Kind of the big hooved klydesdale horse look, te he.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Welcome to the forum, graham_s, hope you enjoy posting and reading. I don't do much formaling, but I don't like to wear wingtip type shoes so I just go with round toe dress shoes. I kind of like my tweed shoes, but that is all my own personal tastes for myself.
    I'm guessing you don't doo the scrunched down hose with your boots...

    I tend to wear a sgian dbu with my kilt so the scrunched down socks wouldn't work for me. besides I have a nice set of matching flashes.

    In addition to being a piper, I am also a representative for my clan association at highland games. When I do the latter and not the former, I prefer to wear hiking boots with my kilt. Frankly, I think the ghillie brogues are an odd sort of shoe, but I reluctantly wear them for piping cometitions and formal kilt occasions. Don't get me started on those super-formal patent leather "Mary Janes".

    I also wear a pair of Medieval Moccasins for Ren Fest. In the Texas Spring, Summer, and Fall heat, it's quite common for the kilted to wear sandals (no hose). Others wear sneakers, even.

    Sounds good to me. I do tend to wear sandals with my kilts a lot. I like those sandals that strap around the ankle, but what ever goes with what I'm wearing. I do have a pare of dress slides or sandals that I have even worn with hose... There closed toe slides with no back around the heel of your foot, and have openings along the sides. That's kind of hard to explain, but everybody thoght it looked ok.
    I'll also add that I don't really always fit in to most of the way these guys wear their kilts. I'm usually quite casually dressed.
