Bentley to don tartan for sake of high fashion?

Bentley has long been known for its highly fashionable posing. The Scots? Well... not so much.

Which is likely why authorities at the first-ever Scottish Fashion Awards sought out the high-end automaker-- credibility. Yes, the notion of haute couture in aland best known for its shortbread and bagpipes may strike as a bit erm... off-kilter, but it's hard to argue with the visual appeal of an assemblage of Continental Arnages, Continental GTs and Flying Spurs parked outside a castle, no? To that end, the Bentley Boys have signed on as the event's official automotive sponsor.

The Awards will be held at Stirling Castle on May 7.
