I wonder if RS being used as an anti-establishment way by the punk movement in the 70s played a role as well.

Kilted, this statement is one of the "legend" that I referred to in my post that...

So Peter, you better than anyone knows when it comes to tartan there is always the romantic [legend] side of the tartan and the truth. If the RS tartan was a fashion tartan, did the Royals ever try...

I saw that on you tube yesterday as I was looking for a certain piping video. It was on of all things "the royal channel". The reported stated "HM met with the new PM at her vacation residence in...
