    This picture is representative of a "Laird's Plaid" being worn.


    NOTE the different "drapes" & "lengths".

    "Laird's Plaid" are just belted plaids and are indeed in "different lengths" as full and half among others.. What I see in the photographs are full plaids just not always worn in the regimental manner.
    These are to be distinguished from the fly plaids--- which are squares (generally 150cm as that's the typical width of the looms) of cloth with pearl fringes on its corners-- and the once common day plaids which are multi-functional rectangular "blankets" made of a few yards of heavyweight tartan or tweed cloth with twisted threads (fringes or tassels) on the four corners. These are not pleated.
