    I've not seen the actual show so am relying on pictures and clips but as I observed in the other thread (#182), not only is the tartan historically inaccurate but the plaid is made from double width cloth with an unfinished edge rather than a selvedge. Boots and hose - unlikely etc, etc.

    As for the accents, I expect the producers were aiming for something that wasn't American or Queen's English and therefore anything vaguely Scottish was perceived as 'in keeping'.
