    Tartan trews aren't my style but they are very popular as dressy menswear in the south of Scotland. Wear them if you feel comfortable, though my personal preference is the kilt.

    My first acquaintance with anything tartan at a young age was a pair of trews!

    I personally have always preferred the kilt and would probably never wear trews now but, as MOR said, some can be dashing in them with the right accompaniments!

    I wonder though if it is more of a Lowland than a Highland thing - yes I know they have been worn in Monarch of the Glen. When I was in the Holyrood Palace gift shop I was informed that Lowland Regiments, who were involved in operational stuff there, had a trews rather than kilt tradition and the male staff were so attired.

    Interestingly enough, the Company of Archers, the Sovereign's bodyguard in Scotland, wear neither trews nor kilt.
