I just remembered I took this one of Ern overlooking Loch Crinan with the western Isles and Isle of Mull in the distance





Joe I will willingly show you around my part of Scotland

Photoshop a guy wearing a kilt into either of these and it will be hard to beat. Simply gorgeous and exactly the photo I would have submitted...if I were any kind of photographer

My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer -
A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.

This is my uncle piping near the high water mark of Pickets charge on Gettysburg battlefield.







He is wearing the American tartan.

Though not up to the works of art that some have posted, here is my humble attempt.


Down the left, the flags of the seven celtic nations, to the right, a somewhat ghostly piper.

I think Redshank has hit on something with his picture of Ern wearing the XMTS tartan. If there is to be a recognizable kilt in the photo, what better than our own clan tartan? Posting any other recognizable tartan is bound to cause issues (even if people are guessing at a barely/not recognizable sett!).

That specific picture might not be the perfect one, but I heartily recommend that if any kilt is shown, it be an XMTS.
