So I Married an Axe Murderer

Yeah, I love that movie. But it had been so long since I had last watched it that when I popped it in over the weekend I was astounded at all the kilts! They did a great job matching the tartan to the character (Charlie Mackenzie in an actual Mackenzie tartan) and the maid of honor during the wedding ceremony had on a Macleod plaid. Only thing is I can't figure out what tartan the Piper was wearing. Anybody know?

For those who haven't seen the film (which I also LOVE as it came out when I was in college, and right about the time of an ugly breakup):

I love that movie, & the tartan looks like it could be the Dundee tartan.

The wedding scene was filmed at the historic Dunsmuir House in Oakland, Ca.. A recruitment call went out to those of us in the RSCDS San Francisco Branch for dancers who wanted to be in the movie's dance scenes. My work schedule didn't permint me to join in the fun...dang.

I'm new to the forum & delighted to be here.
