    Aye, McM, they have about five 'tourist' shops (all with different names, but all owned by the rather notorious Gold Brothers) on and around Edinburgh's Royal Mile.

    I will perhaps wear it with the more traditional Graham of Menteith kilt, that I am sure I can lay my hands on before Burns night. Alternately I might forgo the waistcoat and go with a belt and a dress buckle.

    Thanks again Hamish for your input it is indeed invaluable.
    Yes, Dress Belt and no waistcoat would work well, but I do prefer to see a w/c worn with a PC jacket. Either way, I am sure you will look (and feel) splendid for your Burns Night.

    PS: I am glad to see that you have not 'invested' in Ghillie Brogues. A nice pair of polished business shoes look so much better - again, in my 'umble opinion!

    I agree with you on the w/c so I may just have to get a new kilt, I know I can get one from my twin brother who never wears it, it was worn once, for his wedding. Unfortunatly Scott has cerebral palsey and therefore when he walks a kilt tends to slide down, so he is unable to wear it comfortably.

    In my opinion Ghillie Brogues look almost like a costume, the shoes I have on were bought for my tuxedo, once I got them I decided to opt for the patent leather to wear with the tuxedo, so these have become my favorite footwear for my kilt.

    Looks good, except for the spot of white, as Hamish noted. You're wearing that kilt a bit low on the knee. You could probably solve the problem by hitching it up a little.
