    Glengarries are really military/piper to me. Balmorals not so much.

    Uh, oh! I have red and white diced Balmoral and Glengarry! Never wear them though. It's that old WWII Glengarry that I like!

    Well dicing is one of those military conventions... but most formal Highland attire is taken from military standards. So you have dicing, so what? I think people should take a chill pill with some of the Highland dress ideas. I mean, writing an article for people who want to know what's "traditional" is one thing. Going up to someone and telilng them they're wrong unless they're in the military or a piper... that's simply rude.
