I like the two in red they look very nice but, I'm sorry the other fella with bare feet does nothing for me something about the bare feet, and I'm afraid it brings to mind that old joke about what's under a Scotsmans kilt  :-[

These were quick customs, sort of - the bare legged one required some tabs to be removed inside the torso for the speedo legs to fit in.
Unfortunately geobra doesn't produce anything close to what highlanders wore on their legs which was typically diced hose or tartan "socks" and shoes.
Some of the earlier highlanders would have gone barefoot and there are images of such, though they would have been very rare by the early 18th century.

I got asked that once when wearing a plaid, I asked the asker why he wanted to know. He went some shade of red and slunk away so I never did find out. ;D

Hark! When the night is falling
Hear, Hear! the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling, down through the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits of the old Highland men.
Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever, Scotland the brave.)
High in the misty Highlands,
Out by the purple islands,
Brave are the hearts that beat beneath Scottish skies.
Wild are the winds to meet you,
Staunch are the friends that greet you,
Kind as the love that shines from fair maidens' eyes.
Far off in sunlit places,
Sad are the Scottish faces,
Yearning to feel the kiss of sweet Scottish rain.
Where tropic skies are beaming,
Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
Longing and dreaming for the homeland again.

WOW! My compliments, this custom is very realistic! :) Maybe you can equip one of them with a claymore!

Cool, I like them. I want to do a small skirmish with figures, that look like the time from Culloden.
