Montgomery Scot!

[M. A. C. Newsome]

James Doohan in cooperation with the City of Aberdeen, did research and came up with the actual Scott tartan. After he died, Aberdeen Erected a staue to James Doohan for contributing to tourism. So it is the Scott tartan.

Since this thread is being dusted off and given new life, I thought I'd chime in with a correction. The kilt pictured at the top of this thread is not in any of the Scott tartans.


It's hard to tell for certain from an image this small, but if anything I'd say it was the Kerr tartan.


For comparison, here is the Scott tartan that comes the closest to it, the red Scott:


The other Scott tartans (green Scott, black and white Scott, hunting Scott, Sir Walter Scott, etc.) don't even come close.

Has anyone else noticed that the belt is a black dress belt and the sporran is a brown daywear? I wonder who the costumer was for this, that is a kilt don't if ever I have seen one.

Come now, that's all the rage in the 24th century!

I've never seen a Starfleet Academy tartan, though I'd like to, if it exists. I suspect it never got registered.

[Mr. MacDougall]

This is the tartan James Doohan (Scotty) off of Star Trek wore as his dress uniform apparently.

I don't recall seeing this on screen, though it may have been when he's playing the pipes at Spock's funeral, as it's a movie-vintage tunic. During the Television series, he wore the black-and-white Scott tartan.

The kilt is out of shot during the footage.

The kilt is out of shot during the footage.

I just watched the Spock's funeral footage on DVD. If you freeze-frame during the lowering of the coffin into the torpedo tube, you can see that Captain Scott is wearing the same black trousers as everyone else, though he does have his bagpipes.

The only other place I can think of where they wore dress uniforms in the movies is in Undiscovered Country, when they have the dinner with the Klingon envoys. Unfortunately, I don't have that one on DVD (I know, bad Trekie), so I can't verify it.

If I were going to make a Montgomery Scott costume, I'd use the B&W Scott, as that was definately seen onscreen during the TV series, even if I were going to use a movie-era tunic.

If I were going to design a Starfleet tartan, it might look something like this:

Nope, he didn't wear the Kilt in Undiscovered Country either (I just looked at the screencaps at Trekcore.com.) It looks like this costume is a fraud

Another thought about a starfleet tartan:



I do like that tartan creation toy. It's fun.
