I have some red and white 'ring boots' but I can't quite picture them with my Royal Stuart tartan.

I think the look would be rather difficult to get right - I thought the illustration was more how not to do it than inspirational.

You might just about get away with a casual look of hose and shirt/jersey to match with a neutral kilt and matching boots and sporran or belt - but somehow I can't see it with tartan.

Deary me - and I used to be a hippy?
