You'll notice, Rocky, that I tried to keep the discussion "Scottish" with a mention of the Rangers wearing the British Commando beret with a Cameron tartan patch. :mrgreen: For those who may be unaware, the Commando training camp was in Cameron country at Achnacarry Castle.

But, there is a connection here, involving esprit-de-corps and unit insignia. Members of the old Lowland Regiments, the KOSB's, the Royal Highland Fusiliers and the Royal Scots, for example, are not keen on wearing the kilt in the new RRS, since trews has been the traditional garb of the Lowland soldier since the 19th century.
