Yes you're seeing what my eye always notices. One sees it at our local Highland Games all the time, things like an outfit consisting of a Utilikilt, moccasins, the ubiquitous Pirate shirt, a Prince Charlie, a huge Claymore hung on the back, big sunglasses, and a cowboy hat.
The photo I highlighted wasn't like that. Rather, it was consistent modern traditional Highland Dress (as it evolved in the early 20th century) with a fillamore substituted for the fillabeg.
Have I ever dressed like that? Can I imagine myself dressing like that in the future? No. But I appreciate the idea.
