In Scotland is it okay to carry a broadsword with Highland wear?

[User]

I read that a Scottish man was arrested in Glasgow for carrying a sgian dubh, dirk, and broadsword with his Highland wear.

Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 Section 49(5)(c) says you can have an article with a blade or point in public if it's part of a national costume.

I've always heard the law above protects carrying a sgian dubh. But, I've never thought about dirks or broadswords. Regardless of what the written law says (courts can sort that out), I'm interested in whether the average Scot believes carrying a dirk is permitted. If yes, then about about a broadsword?

Let me first make this perfectly clear, I am not a legal man. Generally speaking the police, in the UK are not impressed with those who carry sharp pointy things about their person, without good reason. Anything with, I think, a blade more than three inches is regarded with great suspicion by the police and could well be illegal....... even if it was "National attire".

I think it's an accepted practice that a kilted gentleman carrying a SD in his hose top would in most circumstances get a free pass. However, carrying a SD to a football/rugby match, for example would not be sensible and I think the police could well take action if they spotted it. Generally, swords and Dirks are not everyday kilt attire and unless you had a VERY good reason for carrying them, the police would take a VERY dim view and I would certainly expect them to be actively "discourage-ing ",one from carrying them in public.
