(It's also possible that my memory is failing me.)

Shatner's acting was so spellbinding during the eulogy that I always find it hard to focus on anything else. People forget How good an actor he can be.
I read this on some tv trivia website (I lost the link):
Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in Star Trek: The Original Series wears a kilt onscreen twice, in the Scott black & white tartan, both in the third season*. He also wears a different Scott tartan in The Wrath of Khan.
I'm not sure if both episodes were in the third season (see photos to follow).
From an older thread from 2006 there is the photo below as well as some disagreement as to what tartan this Scotty kilt costume is, what film it was in, and even *if* it’s a legitimate costume!
He plays "Amazing Grace" during Spock's funeral in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
