Scotland’s best loved comedian has sent his kilt to a tartan exhibition in Dundee.
The Glasgow-born comedian has lent his Tartan Day kilt, which he wore when he led the annual Tartan Day parade through New York in 2019, as part of the People’s Tartan collection.
Sir Billy said: “I like to wear my mother’s tartan. It is MacLean of Duart and I love this pinky, weathered one. “But when the Boy Scouts started to wear kilts, the idea of kilt-wearing took a leap forward as far as we were concerned. “People say you can’t wear your mother’s tartan, and you can’t do this or wear that tartan. They’re just speaking out of a hole in their head.
