The highlander's love of
ornamentation is a reflection of his lack of confidence in
paper money which resulted in his embellishing much of
his wearing apparel with silver and Cairngorm stones which
are of intrinsic value. Thus he carried upon his
person most of his worldly wealth rather than entrusting it
to banks, which in retrospect seems not a bad idea!
