WOW! Such ... pure mischief ... reflected in the faces of those youngsters in the "support crew"! Especially the one in the red cape. I bet they had at least as good a time as you did.

but menfolk still wear a sark. A man's sark is thigh length
Well I'm booked ot come up and work again on the 30th November, St. Andrew's Night, if the weather looked good we could probably persuade Barrie, especially if we did a batch of hurdling for her.......
We 'could' go all traditional, menfolk in sarks and plaids and the girls in skirts, bodices and arisaids
Haggis, neeps, tatties, clootie dumpling, shortbread and the cratur..........honey and cheese and oatcakes, salmon and venison and rowan jelly .............where's Liz ?
Farquhar and company to stir up the music and we'd be set
Hmmmmm
cheers,
Toddy
A sark is a shirt, for a woman it became the chemise with a lower cut neckline but menfolk still wear a sark. A man's sark is thigh length while a woman's reaches to below her knees; Burn's "Cutty Sark" was wearing one too short and showing an awful lot of leg
cheers,

So, it's a bit like a kirtle then? But with a wee collar? I tried Googling for an image but all I got was Cutty Sark and Alderney and Sark.
