If I were to visit Scotland...

[Jock Scot]

Can you go into more detail as to what "classic Scottish traditional style and not in a slovenly manner" means?

Not trying to start and argument or seem thick...just want clarification please.

A fair question. Baring in mind we are talking about "classic Scottish traditional style" IN SCOTLAND.I am going to talk day wear here.

My opinion, for what is worth, would start with a traditional style kilt, preferably made of heavy tartan, but heavy tweed, or, heavy wool single colour(saffron for example) would suffice.Worn no lower than mid knee, of course and always with a sporran, unless competing in highland games.

A shirt and tie and tweed day jacket would be for me. Alright, the youngsters may wear a polo, or, T shirt shirt and pullover( remember our Scottish Weather) instead. A fleece does fit the bill well too.

I would insist on hose pulled up. To my old army eyes any thing else is damned scruffy. Foot wear, for me, would be brogues( wingtips---not those awful ghillie things--- we are talking about functional day wear here, not posing)a good pair of boots would fit the bill if going on rough terrain, they have no place in town though.

OK, remember we are talking Scotland here, head wear is not worn with the kilt much these days, but if a bonnet is worn, the balmoral, or, glengarry is the norm. For the sake of the mods blood pressure, I make no further comment on bonnets.
