what about the hardwear?

I would express the fact that Highland dress is just that... the national dress of Scotland... if you choose to make it a costume by adding weapons, ect, then you make not only yourself a joke but all of us by association to those who do not know what is or not correct.

I can agree with this... what I was referring to (my fault on clarity) are those who look like "cartoon" Highlanders, with no regard to correctness, for re-enacting purposes or other wise. We all know the type. They show up looking like one of Mel Gibson's extras.
