It wasn't the magnificent deerhead motif hose in The Highlanders of Scotland I was thinking of, but rather these hose

Sorry in this small image the hose can't clearly be seen, and look like tartan hose, but in the fullsize image in the book the hose are clearly plain solid grey crisscrossed with fine lines, red and royal blue.
Similar hose show up from time to time in vintage photos.
