another beautiful Peter MacDonald tartan
In discussing the trends of Pipe Band dress (moving away from the black & white hegemony to more colours, more muted tones, more earth tones) I came across photos of the well-turned-out Perth & District Pipe Band.
I looked into their lovely tartan and discovered that it was designed by Peter MacDonald, I assume the same Peter MacDonald who is a regular contributor here. Well done!
If I were to make any changes to their uniform I would switch the red fringe on the bag-covers to dark matching trim and change the silver jacket buttons to horn. (I dont't dare suggesting Balmoral bonnets, a heresy.)
This appears to be the same band but all the colours appear different, which I'm assuming is merely the lighting. Note the red fringe is still there but not the red drone-cords.
