A significant question TCT. I fancy they may have worn glenwhillys - helpfully defined in The Deeper Meaning of Liff (Adams and Lloyd, 1992) as:

Glenwhilly (n) (Scots) A small tartan pouch worn beneath the kilt during the thistle harvest.

The book's illustration of it is not quite as delicate and I shall refrain from posting it here for copyright and other reasons.

Here are some postings I've noticed recently. A picture speaks a thousand words in every language, so if you were wondering about the quality of some of HaT's products, feast your eyes (to mix many metaphors!). I am not responsible for any of these; I just stumbled upon them. However, at least two of the modellers are members here.

Hier sind einige Postings Ich habe vor kurzem habe bemerkt. Ein Bild sagt mehr als tausend Worte in jeder Sprache, also wenn Sie wurden über die Qualität einiger Hats Produkte, Fest Ihre Augen (zu viele Metaphern mischen!) Fragen. Ich bin nicht verantwortlich für eines dieser, ich stolperte über sie. Allerdings sind mindestens zwei Mitglieder der Modellbauer hier.

Voici quelques offres que j'ai remarqué récemment. Une image vaut mille mots dans chaque langue, donc si vous interrogez sur la qualité de certains produits Hat, régalez vos yeux (à mélanger les métaphores nombreuses!). Je ne suis pas responsable de l'un de ces, je viens de tombé sur eux. Cependant, au moins deux des modélisateurs sont membres ici.

In 1/72! Very impressive. The presence of the "devils in skirts" with their gas masks on prompts me to ask whether they were "true Scotsmen" or not when in the field - that's one place you wouldn't want mustard to get to!

I'm wondering whether I read at one time that they did wear something underneath and were only required to be "true Scotsmen" when on parade, but equally well I'm wondering if I'm mistaken - clearly one of those times when the memory plays tricks. It may be academic, as I think kilts were phased out in favour of trousers at some point during the war - so they may not have been in use by the time mustard appeared, which was apparently in 1917.
