You paint such a wonderful picture of it all. And I found the description of a full true kilt and how it is assembled quite fascinating.
Oh and by the way, your mother is indeed a very wise and understanding woman :-)

During the following weeks as Christmas approached, the film club met three times a week with me, Ben and Tam as honorary members, we watched the film Reggie had taken at the Estate, and Lacklan had edited it into understandable segments and Reggie did the commentary, and we were all impressed by the arrangements, we had checked that all the rented phones had charges, that their Bluetooth worked and Lacklan had fashioned little wire holders so that they could be left on a shelves or amongst flowers, he would be in the control center where he could switch to anyone of them he wanted, there was two main cameras set up in the dining room and the drawing room, they were of BBC standard. Radio microphones would be placed at different positions to capture conversations and general Christmas merriment. Lacklan was told where he and Cedric were staying and was very happy to be out in the mountains, Cedric was less pleased but said nothing so, all in all, this adventure was coming together,
The Japanese Contingent would arrive on the 22nd of December at Edinburgh airport, my fathers Bentley would pick up the Royal Couple and all the Range Rovers belonging to the members of my family, six in total, including mine, would ferry the entourage back to our estate, the Japanese and British Security people would arrive on the 20th and scour the Estate for any weak spots, two of each of them would stay at the Southern and Northern Gatehouses, the rest would be scattered around the house and grounds.
During Christmas Eave, Christmas day and Boxing Day all people attending my fathers and my Birthdays would be wearing Dinner dress, and that included all of us from Uni except Lacklan and Cedric, so i informed the film club boys not to forget them, the dinner guests included, my siblings, all titled, The Royal couple Including Tam, Reggie's father and mother and a few Scottish Dukes, Earls and Marquesas, Hamish would wear the ' full true kilt' not the 'killybeg' we all wear today. And this, for all you Sassinacks out there, is how it is worn, normally a three inch wide belt is laid on the carpet, but as this is Hamish a six inch wide one is laid down, then a twenty yard bale of tartan is produced and folded in four inch wide pleats along the length of the belt, normally the recipient would only be wearing a shirt but on this occasion Hamish will be wearing undergarments. much to his disgust, he then lays on top of the pleats gathers up both ends of the belt and fastens it around his waist, he then stands up and the length to the knee is adjusted, then the rest of the cloth is wound around the body and under one arm and the last piece is left to dangle down his back, a very large Cairngorm jewel in a silver mount is pinned to hold everything in place, a sporran is worn on the hip, a sword added and a Dirk and 'Black Knife for the sock and you have a authentic 17th century highland dressed man of giant proportions. who would be standing behind my father for the entire banquet.
The villages had been given some of the five thousand strings of solar fairy lights to decorate their gardens, all of the now empty hanging baskets all the houses possessed, had been taken away and would be returned on the 22nd full of fresh flowers, the rest of the strings of solar lights were hung everywhere and when they came on at dusk, the sight would be increadable. Everything had been checked and rechecked, Reggie, now having been told of the Royal party's presence, had gotten two more top class TV cameras, and five more mobiles with WIFI as well as Bluetooth, he was making very sure he had every eventuality covered, which also meant two more guest to be added to the vetting list at the last moment, and as one of them was the son of one of Scotland Parliamentary Ministers, they passed with no problem.
Tam and I packed everything we needed for the two week stay, we made love for the last time in my dorm the previous night, Tam was tearful afterwards, this would be the last time he would ever be in this room, he would be flying back to Japan with his parents after the two weeks had ended. I had given him the two SD cards that he didn't know about, the one in the shower when i had punished him for not telling me about his bodyguards, and the other a copy of the one i recorded on the dressing room table that Ben had discovered, but i left that information out. Tam was very moved and gave me a copy of every SD card he had, it must have cost him a fortune. We said goodbye to everyone in the gang, whose female members took this opportunity to kiss a red-faced Tam, we started my beloved Range Rover and holding hands we drove to my home in the Highlands.
We took the Northern route, snow blanketed the roads and mountains, we stopped in the usual place and looked down at my valley which sparkled as the thousands of solar fairy lights had just com on at dusk, we drove through the village, every house had a flowering hanging basket, and multi colored lights on many Christmas trees in most lounges, their glow emanating through the windows, a huge sixty foot Christmas tree had been erected in the middle of the drive, close to the fountain, and was dazzling with huge colored glass baubles and large electric lanterns, the same ones used every year.
I parked my Range Rover in the line of them already there, and Tam and i walked into the open doors to be greeted by all my brothers and sisters, and my parents, i introduced Tam to the one's he hadn't already met and we all congregated in the drawing room, a massive log fire blazed in the hearth and decorations festooned the ceiling. We chatted about the itinerary, and my siblings said their partners, would be arriving on Christmas Eave, and Tam and I, accompanied by my mother inspected the Royal wing and it was delightful, Tam looked into My room which was now his parents suite of rooms, and he was stunned by the changes made, whole walls had been lined in knotted silk, an antique heavily carved Jacobean four poster bed had been installed with canopy and curtains made from the same pale yellow silk as the walls. Japanese art was everywhere, sitting on shelves and the large Adam marble fireplace, Even i was shocked by the transformation of the room. 'Mother, where did you get so much silk? she smiled, 'darling, didn't you know your father was assistant to the Governor of Hong Kong in the early sixties? i nodded, 'well that large bale of silk was given to me as a leaving present and it has been in a protective trunk in the attic all these years, i thought this was a perfect time to use it, do you like it?' i was speechless, it was Tam who spoke first, 'This would cost many thousands of pounds nowadays' my parents are going to be very impressed' my mother smiled, I have one more surprise, and she reached under the pillow and pulled out a large brass plaque which had 'Roiyaru Japonese suītt' it was Tam who said, 'The Royal Japanese Suite' my mother handed it to him and told me to open the bedside cabinet, inside there was a screwdriver and brass screws, 'why don't you help Tamichaki to place this on the door, as this going to be permanent, anyone important in the future, no matter who they are, will stay in this suite of rooms' Tam was very touched, we placed the brass plaque in the center of the out line drawn in pencil on the door and Tam screwed it permanently, i gave it a quick buff with my sleeve to remove our fingerprints, and it looked marvelous. 'Where is my room?' Tam asked, 'i thought it better if you stayed in the East wing with Rory, you can keep each other company, after all you are the two youngest here.' Tam blushed slightly, 'my mother turned to me, 'you don't mind do you darling, we have put two single beds in there so you can feel at home like at university,' and now i blushed, 'Thank you mother that's very thoughtful of you. I wondered what would happen to Tam for the two weeks, 'Well now you know, go and take your bags to you room and meet us for dinner' both Tam and i kissed my mother on the cheek and left her.
Tam and I took our heavy bags to my room in the East wing, it was exactly laid out as my old one with the exception of twin beds, i looked at Tam and he at me, and i grabbed him and we kissed. 'I though i wouldn't be able to stay with you at night but now i can' Tam smiled, 'your mother is very thoughtful,' we sat on the bed together, 'She believes very strongly in fate,' Tam looked puzzled, 'really why?' i held his arm as he unconsciously played with my cock, 'Its because the way my parents met' and i explained to him that my fathers aid and his daughter, were to arrive in Hong Kong one day, both of them were titled, but the daughter had become ill, so her father had asked my mothers father, The Earl of Aierlie, if could she take her place as a temporary measure, my mother was 22, When she arrived, my father met the airplane and it was love at first sight, she stayed on, and they were married that year on his Birthday, Christmas Eave, and she thinks the way we met was fate.' at this Tam blushed, 'you don't think she suspects that we are together do you?' i smiled 'we are together Tam, if your asking does she think we are lovers, then no! But look how we met, Ben was supposed to look after you, but was too busy so gave that duty to me, and we came up to the Estate, your father wanted breeding stock, we had it, they were both at Oxford, and now this Royal visit, any one tiny break in that chain and none of this would happen, you can see why she believes in fate can't you? and, of course, she is a hopeless romantic' and we both laughed i turned to him, 'Tam be careful you don't do that in public!' Tam said, 'do what?' i looked down at his hand playing with my now very hard knob and he blushed and let go. 'I am sorry Rory' i told him not to be as i loved it but not in front of my family.
We changed into our dress clothes and this time Tam had his own, we wore contrasting dinner jackets of pale blue and cream silk, and the only jewelry were wore were my James Bond Omega watch and signet ring with my crest, and Tam wore his Rolex Daytona with his signet ring and crest, we checked each other out, took a few photos and satisfied, we kissed and walked together to the dining room, which took our breath away, besides all the items i have already mentioned, the sixty foot dining table was now overflowing with flowers, in fact the whole room was, we all kissed and greeted each other, Hamish sat next to my father and we has a lovey dinner which was also a practice run for the main dinner on Christmas Eave, my mother noted that we needed extra side tables to hold the biggest silver platters as there was no room on the table, and she also had Howard from the kitchen, to make a note to put smaller vases of flowers in the center, because it was blocking the view of people opposite, and that was that, we had a sumptuous meal, retired to the drawing room, drank port and chatted until about ten o'clock, Tam and I excused ourselves went to our room, locked the door, took off and packed away our dress clothes, we walked into the shower, filled the hot tub and switched it on and spent a good two hours making love to each other until we were exhausted, we slept in one bed with Tam lying on top of me, his cock between my legs and slept till dawn.
