    Thanks, Colin and Nathan, for this excellent article.

    Thanks also to everyone who contributed, in so many different ways.

    What I like best are the pictures of kilted gents alongside non-kilted folk, to show "equivalence".

    Well done indeed.

    Those equivalent types of photos are surprisingly hard to come by. The formal daywear one showing Jock Scot in a wedding party with people in morning dress is particularly good. It is much easier to find Xmarkers dressed in tweed & tie daywear surrounded by people who are dressed at another level of formality entirely (i.e., informal tshirt and shorts at a Highland Games), which speaks to differences between the traditional preference for a smart turnout and the increasingly casual approaches of the modern era.
