There’s a country in Europe where they treat their ex soldiers with pride no waits for medical treatment after injuries received during service, no amensia from the government. Cant for the life of me recall where it is but I know exactly where it is not.
I think it's the unaccustomed sight of bare knees that does it!
again, i have to concur!! it's a bit like ladies' ankles in victorian times - lol!! i love a man in a kilt (partic the ww1 one i know - he looks divine )
t xx
edited to add - the other side look rather fine as well!!! why dont men dress like this anymore - would make shopping in tescos much more interesting - lol!

It's taken a while and is down to officers actually being able to officer (manage). In RaT we have one rule above all others- if it's wrong you aren't wearing it, and if you don't have it we'll lend you it.
That and there being a rumour I'm a bit blunt, although I think I'm really quit polite (the first time).
I'm doing Royal Ecosse in short coat (1st photo), Tod has the full length one (2nd photo with colour) and Paul is Princes Life Guard (full length next to water) and not Royal Ecosse (you probably already knew that, but we so commonly get told we are redcoats especially in Scotland ).
We know it's to early for RE, but it shows there were uniformed troops on both sides.

These views are not necessarily those of RaT, which usually are accompanied with a sulphurous smell.

Glad to see your gaitors are less baggy than Geoff the Slouch's....!!
And kew your hair you bleadin' hippy...!!!
Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing them, but never through riding them: unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die
Yup, I'm on there in the most fantastic red tartan spray on trews...!!

Hi Alan
I see that's already been fully answered by Steve The guys in the distance with the blue turned up red coats who look like the Royal Ecossais are in fact the Derby Blues Militia......you might have known that though.
I am also thinking of trying to get a jacket and breeches made up for the Royal Ecossais too.... along side my other 18thC kit think it would be a nice change.
Were you doing the Bannockburn stuff at the weekend??

You could do worse than get in contact with Dave Roberts in Inverness.
he did a lot of research in to the Ecossois when he outfitted them 15 years ago.
I can also recomend a very good gentlemens outfitter in Dorset if you want someone to make it.
