Now they look like a proper Highland battalion should. The photos will not show minor splattering and scuffs on spats. When I was in a pipe band back in the 70s (Caledonian Pipe Band of Buffalo NY; no less than five members had served in the Black Watch) we always had to whiten our spats after almost every parade, particularly when it rained. We used liquid white shoe polish as blanco was of course unavailable.
