    Fergus, It would seem from the size of the crowd at Trafalgar Square that you will never have enough feathers to satisfy. They may be a bit "rowdy" but it all seems to be in good fun and isn't that the name of the game?

    Just noticed that this is my 1,000 post

    Feathers in a Glengarry also seems to be a popular thing with the Tartan Army. Not being a big football fan, I didn't realise this until a couple of years ago when I saw some photos of them.

    A fine example here!

    EDIT: A short series of photos here shows a recent trip to London for a match at Wembley. Apparently it's traditional to invade Trafalger Square on the day of the match before heading to the ground. Although perhaps not the best advert for Scotland, I believe they are well received worldwide, and although a bit rowdy, are usually a good natured crowd who rarely show animosity to the other side.
    I think the Tartan Army pretty much gets a buy when it comes to the rules of highland dress!

    In my humble opinion, they should certainly not be used as examples of how it should be done.
