Yes. The fellow 2nd from the right (in the back with the gray jacked & waistcoat), from what I can see, is about the only one that looks "traditional". At least how it is viewed here anyway.

Well alright, he is the best of a bad lot. Except for the sporran with its offset sporran flap fastening, kilt worn too low and the dreadful Windsor knot for his tie that really wont do.

Noticed that about the sporran, but can't really tell if it's an offset flap or not (the one on the far left certainly is). I do think it's worn too high.
Yes, all the kilts are too low.
What's your preferred tie knot?

Four. It was designed for a carriage driver to hold the reins of four horses in one hand, thus, 'four in hand'
