Three Highlanders in uniform stand together (left); Barrington of Durham, kneeling on one knee, measures with a foot-rule the length of the kilt of the most prominent. The soldier says, "You'll find them exactly according to the rules of the Highland Association." The bishop answers, "Dont tell me of rules, I say it is abominable it is worse than Figure Dancers, it is above half a yard too short according to the Opera Standard bring the large breeches directly, why the Figurantes would be ashamed of it." Salisbury stands stiffly (right) in court dress, his staff of office in his left hand, holding out a large pair of clumsy breeches. The Highlanders wear feathered bonnets, with tartan plaids, kilts, socks, and dirks, swords, and sporrans. See BMSat 9297, &amp;c.  10 July 1798
