Re: BRAVEHEART

Well, after all, it was the first film in ages that brought some Scottish stuff on the screen again, though historically it contained a pretty lot of nonsense. But it roused discussions here and there and some people around the world for the first time ever took notice of Scotland...

HOWEVER this of the Lowlander and the kilt... I have to disagree in one wee point, which is the 21st of May 1650 and the painting by one Mr. James Drummond showing the events of this day. It clearly shows a Lowland cavalier wearing a kilt on the last day of his life. And there is this other picture of the same Lowland gentleman on his horse and he really doesn't look as if he wore trousers. LOL
