Another thread just now linked to this photo of PM Burgess, which I've included in the OP as he's wearing the same doublet, kilt, plaid, and Glengarry in other photos and it goes to show how the same elements can be combined in various ways. I'd like to be able to see the whole sporran.
Note the wonderful posture and deportment of these ex-Army pipers: shoulders square, head straight, blowpipe centered in the mouth.
Also note the relaxation of the hands, so important to fluid playing.
It detracts so much from the look of a piper to see distorted postures.
