A Highland Wedding.

[Jock Scot]

Great report, with an eye for the details! Very informative. I find the all leather day sporrans interesting. I wonder if this was just a choice for this wedding, or if it might indicate a trend.

The leather day sporran is standard practice up here as is the tweed Argyll which does for everything from BBQ's to meeting the Queen. I think the tweed Argyll bit all goes back to the days of no central heating, no double glaizing, draughts and continual damp in the Highland houses(there are still plenty of places like that!) so people wore the warmest thing they could find----tweed.Common sense above fashion and it has stuck up here! So, no need for fancy sporrans! In fact we, up here, don't go in for all this agonising over what goes with that and what time of day or night the event will be----- its tweed and leather sporran------out of the Highlands a wee tad more "head bending" is required!

Sorry McMurdo, I thought that it would not be right to take and publish pictures of people who had not consented to that.
