George VI and Edward VIII

Oh dear no. That's the gentrified, or Morningside/Kelvinside pronunciation of 'plad' as in lad which is the correct was to say it.

Thanks for the correction.

OK.. this begs another question. Edward VIII abdicated in 1936. It appears that both kilts were above (v. mid-knee) the knee. Was this a matter of style and we have become more modest? Is it the photo and how they are walking?
