    I like the tartan, and I think cultural diversity is a cool thing! And his outfit does all match nicely

    Actually, the tartan was designed by Lord Singh:

    Lord Singh is a pretty amazing fellow, INMHO.

    The Sikhs and the Jocks have had a long history of serving together in the far-flung posts of the Globe, and the 3rd Battalion of the Indian Army's Sikh Regiment maintains pipers clad in the Rattray tartan, in honour of Rattray's Sikhs:

    My grandfather, who served in India during the Second World War, spoke very highly of them.

    Those are interesting articals, cajunscot; thanks for posting the links. I love that first one.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    I personally have nothing against the tartan or Sikhs (having personally known more than a few transplanted over in my region), but that sporran has got to go!!!
