To commemorate this day in Scottish history 16 April 1746 the Battle of Culloden, I have donned my USAK semi-trad in Stewart Black. My ancestors would have support each side; mother’s Robertson – the Bonnie Prince and father’s Malcolm MacCallum the government.

A toast after work to the fallen Highlanders of both sides will be held at Park Lane Tavern.

A record breaking hot weather day is predicted but I am feeling cool in my PV kilt, cotton kilt hose and polo shirt.
