    Thanks for sharing the scene, Jock Scot. The artless simplicity of tasteful attire for such an occasion is heart-warming.

    Great report. I'd love to see more simplicity on this side of the big pond.

    seems to have been a fine affair. Although I am appaled at the lack of bonnets. I expected at least the odd balmoral or subdued solid colour tam someplace.

    I can assure you that not a bonnet was to be seen----not unusual at all. Now, had it it been raining and in midgie season that would have been another matter! Even then, I expect that you would not see a glengarry or flat tweed cap, you would see a few Balmorals, the girls might have worn a tam, but on the whole most people would have worn a "fore and aft"(imagine a deer stalker without the flaps).

    Was there no headgear worn, or was it a mix of stuff but nothing sterotypical?

    I would love to participate in an event such as you describe. So evocative!
