Tunes of Glory?

[ThistleDown]

The kilts from Tunes of Glory had a second appearance in Leslie Neilsen's "Wrongfully Accused". They were all so embarassed by that exposure, after their illustrious first performance, that they fled back to some wardrobe dungeon in London. Too bad, because they were well made 16 ounce 8-yarders.

They then had another outing when the London Scottish Pipes & Drums were filmed wearing them for the projected backdrops of the touring stage production. The theatre company that hired the London Scottish were not aware that it was the London Scottish Pipes & Drums that had been used in the original film, so that was a nice link.

You can also see one of these kilts worn by the flame throwing piper in the Bond film The World is not Enough.

S'ok. There's plenty of pics on the theatre company's website, but it won't provide any conclusive evidence as to what the tartan is.

If looking at these photos doesn't make it clear to naysayers that the tartan is Brown Scott in the Modern Colors, then absolutely nothing will...

There's no doubt in my mind that the tartan is indeed the Brown Scott Modern. I have seen the film more times than I can care to remember! I recall immediately looking the tartan up after watching the movie for the first time, and confirming, at least in my opinion, that it was the Brown Scott in Modern colours. Scott also brings up a very good point/observation.

Slainte,

Thanks for the link. Tthe colours are much clearer and confirm without a shadow of a doubt that it is Brown Scott.
