You are sir correct... it's been a long time since i've had the opportunity to watch, though i think joe had been written out already and the Dingles were taking over everything...

For those who don't know what we are talking about it is the UK TV soap Emmerdale Farm (the Farm bit has since been dropped) in which Frazer Hines played the (non kilted) character of Joe Sugden.

His character was alas killed off in a car crash in 1995 in Spain.

If Jamie was at Culloden, which I think is the case, his tartan would have pre-dated most if not all clan tartans. I also thought he was originally in a great kilt (AFAIK both those and modern kilts were worn in that battle), in which case maybe the philabeg came from the Dr.'s cavernous wardrobe in the Tardis?

Were these Misters Sugden related to Molly?

Well, the question was about the tartan used in the photographs in the original post. There's a photograph of Jamie as he originally appeared here (see under the "Appearance" heading, episode: "The Highlanders"), and it looks to me like he's wearing a different tartan. And in the photograph under the "Further Travels" heading (episode: "The Two Doctors") he's wearing the Princess Margaret Rose tartan.

Hoots mon, wheer’s the man’s sporran? (The first few pictures show him without it, then there is one where he is wearing one – and it seems pretty modern to my eye).
Regards,
Mike
