The Saint kilted clip

I was idly watching an old episode of the Saint recently, when suddenly I noticed kilts on the screen! The plot revolved around the theft of 24 kilts in order for a gang to pose as a Highland regiment. Of course Simon Templar became involved, infiltrated the gang and donned a kilt into the bargain.

Here is a short clip from the episode showing Roger Moore in a kilt along with Tony Britton and many others. Hope you enjoy it!

That was pretty good, Martin! I don't remember seeing that episode. The comment about their sgian's was interesting, because they were wearing them on the right. I guess that's TV! In my old regiment, enlisted men were not allowed to wear them without obtaining special permission in writing.

I am not well up on military regulations Macman, but I understood that the sgian dubh was to be worn according to the dominant hand of the wearer, i.e. a right-handed man wears his sgian dubh to his right and a left-handed to the left.
