Tunes of Glory?

[figheadair]

A film like TUNES OF GLORY is made in four stages:

What the costume designer wouldn't have done was sit down, design a tartan, have it woven, then have kilts made.

So, if it's the consensus of well-informed opinion on XMTS that the regiment is wearing brown Scott tartan-- well, that's good enough for me.

I have to disagree. Here's a better image of the Tunes of Glory tartan



It may have been based on the Brown Scott, who knows, but it's certainly not it.

Having done the tartan & Highland Dress advice for the film Rob Roy I know that if the director wants a different colouring and has the money then they will go to a special weave which is what happened there. I had an old piece associated with the MacGregors that the Head of Costume absolutely loved but as was often the case with C18th specimens the red was a deep rose pink. She wanted it but the director (I'm not having Liam Neilson wearing pink) had other views and so they went for a special run of a blue and brown sett that had not historical basis but 'looked right' to him.
