Anyone seen this movie? It's the true story of Angus Buchan, a Scottish farmer in South Africa. There's just a couple of short scenes (and one is REALLY dark) but he's wearing a kilt. You can see a quick shot of it at about 2:09 of the trailer.

I just saw this movie last night. My fiance pointed out his Scotland Thistle socks. She asked if I would wear that type, I said "Yeah?!?, But they run about $100." The item that I was curious about was where he wore his sporran in relation to his belt. As a person fashionably impaired, I thought it was way too high.

I really liked some of the short lines. The scene where he describes that he is an African/Afrakan, but honors his Scotland heritage was really good.

I got a black pair for $7 off of ebay. There were a bunch of different sizes available when I got them last summer
