Clan MacLeod tartan question

[NCMC]

Gentlemen,
Thank you all for your response. Informative as always, thanks.

Jock Scot,
In your experience during formal events did you wear a cap w/cap badge? If so what did you wear with loud MacLeod?

I think all your questions have been answered. My clan is MacLeod of Harris and me, my father and my grandfather all wore and wear(me) the green MacLeod of Harris tartan during the day and minor formal events in the evening. On the more formal evening events we wear the "dress" Macleod(otherwise known as MacLeod of Lewis, or loud Macleod). These days I have noticed that the green MacLeod of Harris is worn for any formal event. Not surprising really, when a decent kilt costs well over £500 over here, so why have two?

A bonnet and badge are rarely worn these days anyway, I am an exception, but they are even more rarely(never even) worn to a formal event , unless the Scottish weather is more dire than usual. In that case anything will do! Of course upon entering the building, assuming you are not a piper at the event, the bonnet is removed forthwith.

You may have seen a picture of me at a very formal wedding in France, where I am wearing a bonnet and badge, it would not be something that I would do normally, but I did it to indulge a very pretty bride!

Jock,
I am sure that many things have been done to indulge brides on their wedding day. Well played sir, well played.
