    My first time wearing my Scottish clothes and accessories.....

    Hello everybody. This is my first time putting on Scottish clothing and all the accessories, so I have enclosed a photograph, and wanted to ask the more experiences folks, did I put on everything correctly? I certainly do not want to misrepresent my Scottish heritage, and want to make sure everything is being worn correctly. Thank you for looking... FYI... my clan is MacDonald of Clanranald. I have done my Geneology all the way back to 1650, and my family comes from Knoydart, and Inverness. Yes, they were Jacobites, and were in the Scottish Clearances, thus ended up in Nova Scotia. My grandfather came from St. Andrews, Antigonish, NS to the U.S. in 1912, became a U.S. citizen in 1934. My grandfather was a MacDonald (MacBride). My grandmother came from South River, Antigonish, NS, and was a Chisholm (MacIntosh), from Archibald (Ban) Chisholm, both arrive on the Brigantine "Nora" in 1790, from Fort Williams, near Inverness Shire, Scotland.



    I served in the US Coast Guard, and according to CG Instructions, authorized to wear my award medal in miniature. Thank you for looking, hope to hear your feedback, good or bad....
