Two regiments use that style of garters, the Queens Own Highlanders and The Scots Guards:



When I first saw those I thought immediately of Guatemalan weaving.



Yet another one of those ancient folk-art things found the world over.

I would think those Highland garters are related to the crois, the traditional belt worn by Aran Island men.

which are woven with your feet



It's interesting to see the connexions between the traditional Gaelic dress of Ireland and Scotland, the crois being one, pamputai another.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that made a similar connection to RUMP.

While from Canada and not having any influence on the outcome, political references, I believe likely violate one of the forum rules, not that don't agree, not that is with the forum rule but the reference to rump, er ah Trump.
