1) You can change the buttons to black and wear them as a guest at a formal kilted wedding when you're not in the wedding party. The button change is optional but it is a great option if you want to be respectful but keep the eyes where they should be.

3) You're travelling, there will be black tie and can only pack one jacket.

4) You're a piper.
I think you've covered it perfectly.
