Tunes of Glory...
James Kenneway, the author of Tunes of Glory (he also wrote the screenplay), served in the Gordons, if I remember correctly, so no doubt the majority of the inspiration for the story came from that regiment. I have read that the kilts were Cameron of Erracht as well, but I'm not totally convinced -- I still wonder if they went with another tartan to avoid making any particular regiment's members mad.
Regards,
Todd

How have I lived so long without seeing this movie? I noticed that Sir Alec Guinness referred to the regiment as "the friendly regiment" . . . could that provide a clue?
