License to kilt
Friends of Scotland is a charity best known for its annual Dressed to Kilt* fashion event. This year's star attraction: Sean Connery. The idea is to promote Scottish interests - as enigmatic as these may be - in the United States. Arguably more mysterious is quite how Eric Villency's Braveheart moment advanced the cause. It is difficult to imagine what William Wallace would have made of tourism in Scotland let alone interior design television shows.
Not everyone is so excited at the prospect of updated kilts closer to home with Edinburgh's first ever fashion festival.
