Kilt in Breaking the Da Vincci Code

[KiltedTurtle]

I was watching a show last night with my wife called Breaking the Da Vincci Code. They were examining different parts of the Dan Brown book. At one point in the show they visited rosalyn chapel. The gentleman that was showing them around the chapel was kilted. Couldn't tell the tartan b/c they only showed him for a few seconds. Love to see someone comfortable enough to wear a kilt on an national, if not international, show.

This is a warning shot on this thread before it even gets going.

Some people have very strong feelings about the "claims" in this book and film, but let's leave those for another forum, okay.

Yeah, I'd believe it. After all, after Star Wars people claimed Jedi as their religion on census forms. Fiction always gets the vote since it's more exciting than most folks reality.

It's my understanding that the Historic Scotland guides have been able to wear kilts as part of their uniform for several years now.

Since Rosslyn Chapel's renovations have included funding by Historic Scotland and the Rossyln Chapel Trust, I wouldn't be surprised to find a guide or other expert in a kilt around the chapel.

I haven't read the book, nor do I intend to, as I have a mild interest in Templar and Masonic history, and the theoretical connections between the two; and I don't want to confuse, in my mind, the factual research and conjecture with the admitted fictional story in the book.

That said; I've long had an interest to see Rosslyn simply because of the history of "mysterious connections" and the curious juxtapositions of christian and pagan symbolism in the carvings. I'd be interested in a tour that details all the known facts about the history and the architecture without any of the mystical conclusions.

Love to see someone comfortable enough to wear a kilt on an national, if not international, show.

I'm sure most of us would be willing to do that, as long as we had a chance to make sure our outfit was appropriate - wouldn't want to embarrass the kilted community, ya know!

Tried to read it but didn't care for the style. Plus there is so much about it on the ol tube that it kind was a suprise buster.

No. Years ago, I read Holy Blood/Holy Grail, which I understand was part of the whole DaVinci thing; it got me interested in the general subject, but there were too many unsupported assumptions in the book for me take to it seriously. One book on the subject that did fascinate me is John Robinson's "Born in Blood." He also has some conjecture involved, but he supports his theory pretty well with documented historical facts.

I cant wait until the next Airplane sequel comes out. Now that was a real movie.
