Too Traditional?

[creagdhubh]

To answer the question, can anyone outwith Scotland dress too traditionally? In a word, No.

Can anyone outwith Scotland wear Traditional Highland dress incorrectly? Absolutely.

Here are a couple of examples of one of the reasons why I prefer the traditional approach...as it is the timeless approach of my own kith and kin:

The late Euan Macpherson of Glentruim, Chieftain of the Invereshie cadet branch of the Clan Macpherson, shooting in the hills surrounding Glentruim in Badenoch. Euan's son, Lachlan, is now officially styled Glentruim and has taken his late father's place as a Chieftain within the Clan Macpherson.


"The Posterity of the Three Brethern." Current Chief of the Clan Macpherson, Sir William Macpherson of Cluny and Blairgowrie, the late Euan Macpherson of Glentruim, Chieftain of the Invereshie cadet branch of the Clan Macpherson, and Alastair Macpherson of Pitmain, Chieftain of the Gillosa (Gillies) cadet branch of the Clan Macpherson - the three most senior branches of the Clan Macpherson represented at the annual Clan Macpherson Gathering and Rally in Newtonmore, Inverness-shire (Badenoch).

The Chief's standard bearer is Jamie Macpherson, second son of Sir William Macpherson, and next in line to be Chief of the Clan Macpherson by tanistry.
