It's the image of the kilt on him with a cowboy hat and boots that's throwing you off. His half limp / swagger just wouldn't look right with tartan and spurs.

By the way John Wayne is buried very near here, in Pacific View Cemetery.

I pipe funerals at that cemetery regularly and see his marker often.

It's on a lovey hillside with a wonderful view of the Pacific ocean. On clear days Catalina Island is clearly visible.

Interesting that it says only "John Wayne" with no mention of his real name.
