Last place to expect to see a kilt

[macwilkin]

Can't find any real confirmation but an astronaut by the name of McBean apparently took his kilt, or a piece of it, to the moon and left it there. Is that close enough?

That would be Commander Alan Bean of Apollo 12. He did not leave the tartan on the moon, though, as this article from the Clan MacBean Society's web site explains:

In 2005, Alan Bean said this:

As I remember it, I took Clan McBean Tartan to the moon and returned it to Earth. I did not leave any Clan McBean Tartan on the surface. I did, in fact, give a piece of the Tartan to the Clan McBean and also to the St. Bean Chapel in Scotland. And I've still got some of it in my possession. I did not, however leave any of it on the moon.
