I finally got around to watching the VHS tapes (yes, you read that right ) I have of the original episodes from the old British TV series "The Avengers," of which I was a big fan.

You can imagine my surprise when one of the episodes from the 1964 season (the first?) was about a Highland regiment based outside London. Some of the actors were kilted for the entire episode! And the theme would be of great interest for the Scots and Scots-minded among you.

One point which surprised me was that the actors wore their military style kiltpins (the diaper pin style ones) really high. They were almost at the top of the thigh, just below the hip, right in the middle of the apron.

Is this the traditional way for Scottish soldiers to wear it?
