We mean by traveling uniform coming and going to school. This primarily affected day children. Most schools also required the boys to dress up when taking school trips suvh as field trips. This also was usually the rule for the boarders when traveling at the beginning and end of term. There were also trips to other schools for games (sports) ficxtures. Most schools with uniforms wanted to put their best face forward and had definite rules on how the boys should be dressed in public when coming to and going from school. Dressing up usually mean weaing their blazrts and ties. At Scottish schools it also sometimes meant wearing kilts. Caps were also required although by the 1980s they had been dropped at many schools.
