    It's not often we get to see such formal daytime events. A great opportunity to see the correct, accepted formal attire for military, kilted and non-kilted folks.
    In this case, a black kilt jacket and waistcoat, white shirt, tartan hose, silk necktie, silver mounted sporran ( or mask ), black brogues ( although buckled could be worn ).

    To clarify, if I may, the "black kilt jacket" Sandy. I take it you mean the black, silver buttoned, barathea, argyll?

    Would I wear this highland attire should I be invited? It depends a bit on what context I was invited, I could , but consider the guidance on the invitation. So on balance and assuming I had no uniform to wear, I would wear a morning suit.

    Yes, I should have been clearer.
