Tunes of Glory Kilts _ Gerald Harper

I've seen the movie, and I agree--great movie. Does anyone know if the tartan is available? I'm sure it would be popular, if it were.

The tartan, Hunting Scott in the ancient color scheme, is readily available from all the major mills...

That's so cool!!

Wonderful to be able to see the maker's label, and know once and for all who made them.

Interesting that they have civilian tartan binding, not the grass-green binding which military kilts have. An oversight by the costumer, who evidently didn't know the differences between military and civilian kilts.

There is a Tunes of Glory Pipe Band here in the USA. They don't wear that tartan, however.

A little off topic but, Tunes of Glory wears the Modern Hunting MacInnes tartan. Thanks for pluging my band, Richard.

Tunes of Glory wears the Modern Hunting MacInnes tartan.

Wouldn't it be awsome if you wore this kit?



It's a wonderful uniform! That tartan looks so good with the Battledress jackets, the TOS, and especially those London Scottish hair sporrans.

It would be.
Are the ankles taped in this pic with white tape or is that a stripe in the hose? Never saw that before.

Those, I think, are part of the puttees. Usually they are the same colour as the wide part of the puttees; I've never seen them white before.

Thanks for the tip... I was under the impression it was a pattern they had made up specifically for the film. Lovely tartan.
