    Great photos! Thanks for posting!

    I couldn't help but notice the belt being worn w/ waistcoat by the gentleman marching 2nd from the left in the above photo, but who am I to criticize, for as Jock so rightly pointed out we do not know the circumstance (& besides he is so smartly turned out!)....

    I also really like the sensible shoes being worn by all, not like the proliferation of dress ghillies with tassles going up the calves seen at games over here!

It's true that everyone has their own tastes, but I'm always amazed at the odd excess that I find: huge two-handed swords, faces painted blue?, fairy wings, leather "bondage" outfits, etc. I often wonder that the Scots aren't secretly shuddering the entire time...
