Punk Tartans
I'm on a mailing list for the germanic languages of the north European Lowlands - that's Dutch, Scots, Low Saxon, English, Frisian and suchlike. Currently there's a competition going (prize: a credit on the website! It's not commercial or anything) where we submit photos to illustrate the web page for each language.
Since these are traditional dialects we tend to get photos showing lochs, windmills, old houses, farms and suchlike. You can see some of the submissions so far here. I'm looking for something more up-to-date and yet having Scottish connections. What I'd like is a photo - either landscape size or panoramic - showing people in modern punk-style tartans. The idea is that it shows a modern style that's developed from a Scottish tradition.
Does anybody have any such photos they've taken that they wouldn't mind me sending in to the competition? Or you could just send it in yourself if you like. It can be your friends or anything - they don't all have to be wearing tartan, just one or two would be fine as long as the tartan's noticeable.
Thanks for even thinking about this - I just don't want my dialect represented by a herd of extra-hairy cattle or wee sleekit couering timrous beasties and suchlike :)
