    Kilts in Hollywood Films

    Just happened to switch the telly on last night and caught the western 'The Way West' starring Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum and Richard Widmark, I love watching westerns on telly.
    The scene in which the wagon trail arrives at Fort Hall shows them being greeted by 2 kilted pipers.
    There must be a tremendous amount of films that feature the kilt.
    I suppose it is not surprising considering the impact Scotland has had on the formation of the USA and the part played by Scot/Irish inmmigrants in signing the USA constitution.
