From the punks outside Eric's night club on Matthew Street in Liverpool to the Bay City Rollers performing on stage at the Odeon in New Street, they have been a symbol of rebellion and Scottish pride. These iconic kilts, as worn by Noble, Dawson, and Harper of the 72nd (Duke of Albany's Own Highlanders), were not just limited to the military. The pop group Bay City Rollers brought this trend to the masses in the 1970s, with their red-tipped golf shoes and putters adding to the flair. Even before this, Scottish regiments like the 71st (Highland) Regiment of Foot (Light Infantry) and the 72nd (Duke of Albany's Own Highlanders) proudly wore their tartan trousers in battle. And let's not forget the influence of Scottish history, as depicted in illustrations from 'Five Weeks in a Balloon' and portraits of Colour-Sergeant Taylor and Dr John Logan Campbell. So, whether you're a punk, a golfer, or a soldier, they have a place in your wardrobe and in history.
