Grahame,
I am afraid Highland Dress IS sometimes referred to as a "costume", even in this day and age, and it's that impression or notion that we are all endeavouring to stamp out by wearing our kilts casually as often as possible.
Of course, what the average guy in the street has in mind when using that word is probably the full dress ensemble with ALL the accessories as worn by a Pipe Major ........ I am getting a vision of the chap who was/is featured on the Dewar's "White Label" whisky bottles!
It was a surprise to see a Scottish Company using the word, however.
No. of Kilts: 102. "Title": Lord Hamish Bicknell, Laird of Lochaber / Life Member: The Scottish Tartans Authority / Life Member: The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society / Member: The Ardbeg Committee / My NEW Photo Album: Sadly, and with great regret, it seems my extensive and comprehensive album may now have been lost forever!/
