Where do you wear Your flashes

25 years ago when I started to wear kilts as a piper, I was taught that the flashes were worn about half way between the shin bone at the front and the outside of the leg. So my kilted comrades, where do you wear your flashes or garters, slightly forward or at the side?

At the side.

I wear mine just like you do.

As you, piper.

At the side.

Same as you do.

Slightly forward, about about 1/3rdway forward between front and side.

That puts the front flash maybe about 1/2 way towards the front from full side.

Ergh, Now that my head hurts from thinking that hard, I'll go now ...

I was taught the same thing. Half way between. Regimental standard only had one flash per leg.

I was totally confounded when I got some civvy flashes (years later) that had TWO per leg - I thought there was a mistake I had accidentally ripped someone off!
