The attire of the day in the centre of Edinburgh today for the Pope's visit to Scotland - an outbreak of kilts with a good sprinkling of cassocks. These were the scenes on Princes Street at 8.30 a.m. as the crowds began to line the route of the Pope's arrival.
The woman below is wearing the traditional Scottish country dancing costume (not including the jacket!).
Kilts, in ascending order.
Kilt and tweed jacket.
If you don't have a kilt, you drape a tartan rug over your shoulders.
One of the many flag stations.
The Pope joined in the tartan mood, wearing a tartan scarf around his shoulders. Today is St Ninian's Day, so a new tartan, St Ninian, was created for the Papal visit.
