    Where did you get those cocnuts?

    Maybe they were carried here by a swallow?

    An African or European swallow?

    I don't know.

    Great, Great movie.

    tartans...

    One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that wearing of tartans and kilts was outlawed by the crown for a period. That banning of tartans is what caused the general confusion about what a particular clan's "tartan" really is.
    Afraid not, old boy -- remember that the idea of a "clan" tartan realy didn't develop until the turn of the 19th century -- yes, there were tartans around that later became clan tartans, but the idea of a system of tartans to represent a particular clan came later, mostly due to Lowland firms like Wilson's of Bannockburn.

    Cheers,

    Todd
