    In Rob Roy, there were at LEAST 2 versions of his "kilt."
    In a couple scenes it is blatantly a real belted plaid (like the "swimming scene" in the beginning).
    In others it is obviously 2 pieces (like in the sword fight in the end).
    In MOST scenes it is more ambiguous.

    In a film like Rob Roy, more than one costume are made, to account for wear and tear on set and location. I am CONVINCED (I need to ask Peter MacDonald of I am correct) that they had BOTH belted plaids and philabegs on set for Rob's outfit.

    Yes, you are correct about there being the two different styles worn in the film. I was only refrencing the picture I posted wondering if this is what was meant by a "shoulder strap" (the photo is a production still taken of Neeson in the costume worn when he rides out to the duel at the end of Rob Roy).
