Scottish movie accuracy?

[auld argonian]

I have to agree. I saw that movie for the first time last week and ....well...

It looked like a mill exploded on the cast and however the tartan ended up that's how they wore it. Tartan tights ??

Try to remember that, in true Hollywood fashion, that was not so much an opportunity to recreate the period with uncanny historic accuracy but rather an opportunity for some berserk costume designer to go ape-**** and take it to the limit. Sort of a variation on the idea that reality should never get in the way of a good story. Imagine them trying to do all that dancing in accurate costumes....

Best
