    Hollywood? No - Orlando! (Isn't that the "Tower of Terror" at Disney in the background?)
    Hmmm ... Disney did "Kidnapped" and "Greyfriars Bobby" - were there any kilt myths in them? (It's been more than a quarter century since I saw either one.)

    Disney did their own version of Rob Roy back in the '50s(?). I remember it as hokey but not bad. I was 11. There were kilts.
    I don't know if it's been re-released.

    Read somewhere that the recent remodelling of Wallace's statue was made to look like Mel on purpose. I think it was the mayor who said that they might as well make it look like Mel since nobody knows what Wallace looked like and most people are visiting because of Mel's movie.

    Have to check that out to confirm.

    If anybody tells me I can't wear my mother's clan tartan (Maclean of Duart), I will ask him if he is willing to tell that to Sir Sean Connery, who wears the same tartan for the same reason.

    Not being much of a follower of football, I didn't even know there was a game on until after it had finished.


    Anyone else heard some overly absurd tartan or kilt myths recently?
    Well.....yeah! I thought everyone in Scotland was a kilt-wearing football hooligan! I'm crushed.

    I've always been more of a rugby man, myself.
    And I'm only a hooligan when provoked.
