What I like about the way they dress, is even though they are very elegant, Its the simplicity of their attire.

Interesting observation there. Nearly always with Highland attire the "less is more" school of thought is the one that really works. As opposed to the "wear everything" theory, including the kitchen sink!

Isn't that what Lord Mountbatten (may light perpetual shine upon him) once advised a young HRH the Duke of Rothesay?

When wearing the kitchen sink, should the sprayer nozzle be worn loose or tied in a bow? And is there any significance to the positioning of the hot and cold taps? What about the stopper? I've heard that if it's in it indicates loyalty to the crown and if it's out to the Jacobites. Is that true?
