Of these, alcohol consumption is the most important.on-medication treatments for hyperuricemia include a low purine diet (see Gout) and a variety of dietary supplements.

Long Plaid or Pipers' Plaid. This is a full length plaid which consists of approximately three and a half yards of 54inch wide tartan (3.2 metres x 137cms) with the ends fringed. In Scotland this plaid is worn almost exclusively by pipers in Pipe Bands, either civilian or Regimental.
It is often characterised by tartan (plaid in North America) patterns in some form. Male highland dress includes kilt (or trews), sporran, sgian dubh and ghillies. Ghillies, or ghillie brogues, are traditional thick soled shoes with no tongues and long laces. The laces are wrapped around and tied above the wearer's ankles so that the shoes do not get pulled off in mud.
