Smartly turned out, nicely done.

Technical question - I play guitar kilted but haven't attempted it with my Argyll jacket on - do you not find the right cuff catches?

Concordia, salus et pax

A bit smaller scale in the Britons and fewer, but there are always a few kilty lads about and we had a great time at the last ever AyaCon this year. I've hesitated to post my kilted cosplay photos...

It's an interesting and ever-improving field and participation is what keeps it improving.

I had my Paternal line tested a few years ago as a gift from my wife, by "oxfordancestors" a spinoff...

Congratulations, may you always be happy together :-)

Looks like a great Con, some great cosplay - thanks for posting.

Thanks for sharing those pictures, it's wonderful to see these collections, especially when so much ends up being taken out of public view, sometimes for years. Museums are like fun parks for me. I...

Ooh, the elusive breeches! You know the funny story quoted in Balfour Paul, I suppose?

When the red tartan coat was "presented to the Company in 1856, through T. G. Dickson, Esq., by Martine...

Remembered, one and honoured all.

Houseman's most famous piece "Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries' was technically referring to the tiny professional British Expeditionary Force, the ‘Old...

Looking at the original post, I agree with Mael Coluim about using a loose plaid worn over the shoulder and can pass on some tips.

The Roman forked stick over the shoulder really works well if you...

Fascinating, many thanks for that :-)

Even 19thC historians of the Company naturally assumed that the red tartan was 'Stuart' despite the portraits on display - your artefact research is really...

Hi Tobus, I appreciate your desire to preserve the dignity of proper highland dress but I feel it’s a shame to leave a kilt hanging up when it could be worn, so here's what I do: when attending...

Good health and happiness to you and yours.

Do what you like in life, which is what we all should do, but often feel we need an 'excuse' for. It will spread.

Personally, I am in the slight minority in preferring the older standard, Scotland the Brave, because the tune makes me want to stand up and march, Cliff Hanley's lyrics sing the praises of the...

Oh I get worse in York I can assure you, especially with the denim. :lol:

I thought non-clan tartan would be the surest way to avoid offending anyone, but experience has definitely recommended...

Thanks folks. This is the last set I've planned to post out of the 1000 plus that we took, but if people have any particular interest, for example in a specific place, I'd be only too happy to sort...

Hearing such an unexpected sentiment from one who seems to epitomise highland elegance, encourages me to overcome my own qualms.

Wonderful pictures, thanks for the window on such a civilised...

Great to see. The kilt compares nicely to the hakama. I enjoy the formality of my Aikido class, but street clothes are very illuminating for practical application and its founder Ueshiba sensei...

Nice pictures. I miss multi-period events, but you don't get quite as many Revolutionary War folk over here for some reason! what sort of Romans did you have - Trajan's tin plate types?

I think your own ensembles there are great, good taste combined with your own character. I habitually wear clan tartan flashes specifically because I have a non-clan kilt and I like to 'fly the...

Great organisation, and a nice look to the uniform :-)

Looks like a very practical set of kit :-)

Aside from a bicycle I once had, 'ancient' also suggests to me the orthodox Roman and before - Ancient Britons, for example usually including the Iron Age up to the traditional foundation of the...

We were indeed lucky with the atypical weather, and completely midge free, although for our first holiday in four years, I reckon we were due :D I was glad we got a heavy mist sweeping in as we left...

That's a great looking tartan. :D

:D

Between them the fell runners and my second best walking boots (which I don't mind wearing on roads) covered all requirements. Incredibly, I wore the same boots on Skye in the eighties - Vegan...
