kilt

The comments were made in a speech by King Charles - dressed fittingly in a kilt - to mark 25 years of the Scottish Parliament.

“We are looking for things like regimental shoulder titles, cap badges, bits of uniform, bits of kilt, boots to show they are British,” Ms Bowers said.

King Charles was dressed in a tweed jacket and a navy, red and green kilt, and Camilla wore a navy dress with a feather pattern with a feathered hat.

She had worked with Scottish fabric makers including Harris Tweed and Johnstons of Elgin, and enlisted the help of Samantha McCoach from Le Kilt to develop her designer pocketed kilts.

Therefore, you’ll discover suits with appliqué dot patches and frayed edges as well as dog-tag necklaces and sophisticated wire broaches on mini Scottish kilt pins.
