The Last King of Scotland...
...was Idi Amin Dada (according to Idi Amin!)
Anyone see the previews for the new movie "The Last King of Scotland", with Forrest Whittaker as Idi Amin? It's a fictionalized account of a Scottish doctor, who is Amin's personal physician. In a number of stills from the film, Whittaker is wearing a diced glengarry and in in two, he is wearing a kilt in the Government sett with two pipers.
The real Amin was in the old King's African Rifles, and had quite the affinity for the Scots, even offering to be Scotland's "monarch" as well as "President-for-life" (and dictator) of Uganda.
Should be an interesting movie.
Regards,
Todd
