    Matt Newsome was contacted by members of the movie's crew in regards to the tartan Idi Amin might have worn; Matt suggested the Government Sett.

    Amin was a Sergeant in the King's African Rifles (KAR) which I believe had no connections to any Scottish units.

    Two years ago I had an opportunity to visit Uganda. Later I watched The Last King of Scotland. Having been in some of the places where it was filmed (like Kampala and the Entebbe airport) added to the emotion of the film for me. It's well worth watching.
