The Highlanders of Scotland

[Jock Scot]

Whatever...

Again Jock, I understand what your saying, but all I can go by is what eyewitnesses wrote about the man....I'm going to let it drop because I feel like I'm beating my head in the wall on the subject

One question I have for everyone though: is it just me or would'nt this thread, given the subject, be better served in the Historical Highland Attire section rather than Traditional Highland Dress section?

Those eyewitnesses I am sure have been truthful in speaking about what they saw and I don't doubt that. Just as YOU would say(following my example from my last post) to your friends in America after a visit stalking here, you would have pictures to prove it too, that Estate tweeds are worn all the time. From your certain knowledge from what you have seen and can prove with photographs taken by your good yourself that is absolutely true. What you are not privy to and this is my point, is what happens for the rest of the time. No I was not around in Victorian times so I can only guess, just like you and anyone else. The only difference is that I live here and know how it works and how it traditionally works, so do please give me some credit for knowing what I am talking about on a subject that I know about and even if I do say myself, rather better than most. Dream on, if that pleases you, ignore the facts if that pleases you, walk away from those facts if it pleases you and be my guest. We shall both get on with our lives just the same whatever we may think.
