I finally had a chance to look into this and have added applying for a grant of arms to my list of things to do after I graduate. It would cost more than a semester's tuition!

As for the wing collar shirt that a few people have recommended, here is what I've got. The wings are quite a good size, as is the collar, and the shirt has French cuffs. I also like how the buttons are hidden. It is not, however, a detachable collar... I'll let you all be the judge?

What size shirt do you wear?

I've just checked, and unfortunately the smallest shirt I have is a 16 1/2...

Thanks anyway, that was a very kind thought

I like it and actually have something similar in my own tartan that I will be doffing sometime soon and posting when I get a chance.

Looking th dugs baws CMcG!

Look number two is my pick of the bunch,the one with the hunting sporran.

Makes me think of an old song sung by Kenneth MacKellar on one of my grandfathers records called 'Hey for the tartan!'

Well done!
