Tan Accessories - Where Have They All Gone?

[creagdhubh]

Yes, fantastic Glen, fantastic indeed. The Athollmen always look rather splendid, don't they? Such a handsome uniform; complete with the striking Murray of Atholl tartan in their kilts and plaids, unique sporran cantles and tassel design, the useage of a plant badge (Juniper), their white/buff crossbelts, sporran straps and waistbelts (colour depending on rank), their solid coloured hose (except the pipers).

Their seat - Blair Castle, Blair Atholl, Perthshire is remarkably beautiful. And having seen them in person several times, makes them even more splendid! By far, my favourite 'looking' Highland Regiment (knowing this type is the last private army in Europe and have become more or less, purely ceremonial).

Cheers,
