*It's hard to believe the movie Braveheart is already 10 years old.  Interesting article.

Hmm that guy looks more like a Roman senator than a Scottish rebel to me.

Re: Wm. Wallace Honored (Scotland)

Its called Plaid, pretty much a long piece of cloth that is wrapped around you and tied of by the broach. The Kilt is just a smaller piece of plaid. The people in the middle ages and later used it to sleep in then wrap up and move. William Wallace though famed as a guerilla fighter and battle leader was also a diplomat having written to the various leaders of Europe after Stirling bridge and Falkirk

That was your totally useless fact from the token scottish guy on the forum

Re: Wm. Wallace Honored (Scotland)

It's just that it looks different with the white t-shirt underneath.

Wallace must have been a good fighter, I liked the movie, too, somehow reminded me of the peasant revolts in Hungary in the early 16th century that were also put down most brutally by Szapolyai, prince of Transsylvania (successor of Dracula)

So here's another useless information now.
