Kilt-Wearing among modern Borderers?

[BobsYourUncle]

I just made and sent a kilt to a pal of mine in Dumfries. I'm bugging him for pictures at this point.
I have shown a pic of it in the DIY forum. It is made in the Leslie M.C. and was the tartan of "The King's Own Scottish Borderers".

My friend is a tour guide at Drumlanrig Castle and works kilted every day.

Regards aye,

As a Lowland regiment, the KOSBs wore trews in the Leslie tartan as per the Earl of Leven--only their pipers wore kilts, and their kilts and plaids were in the Royal Stuart tartan. See the KOSBs website here: http://www.kosb.co.uk/insignia.htm .

Same with the other Lowland regiments...the Royal Scots (save the TA "Dandy 9th" Battalion), the Royal Scots Fusiliers* and the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles).

*Amalgamted in the 1950s with the HLI to form the RHF. The TA 10th Battalion, "The Glasgow Highlanders", did wear kilts.
