Last January, I was at a Burns Supper, and was at the same table as an older man from Scotland. We started talking about kilts and then the history of kilts...

...I'll assume you can guess where this is going.

So anyway, I say something along the lines of "I didn't really like the movie Braveheart because it is so historically inaccurate. Kilts weren't worn before the 16th century!" To which the elder Scotsman replies, "No, laddie, you're wrong. There's a statue of William Wallace in Stirling of him wearing a kilt!" And after I explained all of the other inaccuracies (Princess Isabella, Irish soldiers, etc.) and then cited the fact that no evidence of kilts exists before the end of the 1,500's and the movie is set in the 1,300's, he was still unconvinced.

At least I learned something--Scots are stubborn!
