I don't believe it's a claymore at all. It's a basket hilt sword (just under his elbow) and the scabbard is, indeed, caught up in the kilt.

Basket hilted claymore, and if the kilt here caught up in his kilt, how could part od it be lower than the hang of the kilt?

Wow! I followed the link and viewed the video. Pretty Nice! Very cool "Charge, Bayonets" That's my kind of summer job. Too bad I'm an old fart who lives way far away.

I think if you look closer you'll see he's wearing a fly plaid. The plaid is hanging over the scabbard. i might be wrong but that's the way I see it.

As to the sporran, had he been playing the pipes or drums?
It appears to be a member of the fair sex. Kilt closing on the left, posture, profile....

DO turn out for guard duty at Edinburgh castle dressed to the nines!
Don't mess with the Scott on guard duty at Edinburgh castle!
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

Yep, I think you are right. BTW, at the the Triad games in Greensboro, NC this past May there was a Lass competing in the heavy athletics. Did very well too, beating many of the men. Only thing she couldn't do was turn the caber. Of course a lot of the men couldn't either!

Dont wear an oversized kilt when giving a speech (and watch for that wind, it can really fan out a kilt i tell you):
