The Day Plaid wrapped and pinned in Victorian era

[Jock Scot]

The late Euan Macpherson of Glentruim used to regularly wear a day plaid wrapped around his person and without a noticeable pin. He would even spend a day out on the moor grouse shooting dressed thus. In my experience he was a slightly "old world" and eccentric dresser(and we are probably talking about 1950's/60's and perhaps the 70's) and a really sound fellow and was the only person that I have ever met, or have seen, dressed that way on a regular basis. A quick google might bare fruit with some pictures? Failing that, I seem to recall that there are a couple of pictures and a brief discussion about him in the long thread called; "Too Traditional" which should be available in our website archives.
