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.
The difference between ROB ROY and TUNES OF GLORY is about $150 million in the production budget, which allows directors a certain leeway in creating one kilt for the star, as opposed to fifty odd kilts for the entire cast.

So, ROB ROY not withstanding, until someone proves otherwise, I'm sticking to my guns and backing the Brown Scott theory.
