A Highland Wedding.

[Dr Mac]

Thanks for sharing the scene, Jock Scot. The artless simplicity of tasteful attire for such an occasion is heart-warming.

Great report. I'd love to see more simplicity on this side of the big pond.

[Sionnachdubh]

seems to have been a fine affair. Although I am appaled at the lack of bonnets. I expected at least the odd balmoral or subdued solid colour tam someplace.

[English Bloke]

Sounds like a fine do... but no-one worrying whether thier fly plaid matched thier flashes? Crikey!!

[turpin]

Was there no headgear worn, or was it a mix of stuff but nothing sterotypical?

I would love to participate in an event such as you describe. So evocative!

over 80 kilts! are you sure they weren't trying to start up a kilt army?!

I can assure you that not a bonnet was to be seen----not unusual at all. Now, had it it been raining and in midgie season that would have been another matter! Even then, I expect that you would not see a glengarry or flat tweed cap, you would see a few Balmorals, the girls might have worn a tam, but on the whole most people would have worn a "fore and aft"(imagine a deer stalker without the flaps).

Thanks for sharing a great day with us.

What a wonderful description of what sounded like a very elegant event! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Take care,

Interesting.....thanks, Jock. I'm hoping (hoping, just hoping) to get over to Scotland for the Masters heavy Athletics World Championships next summer, I'll keep your recommendation in mind.
