Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[Highland Logan]

It looks like the scabbard of a sword to me. I think the humorous effect is due not to any mistakes on the part of the two soldiers in the picture, but rather to the fact that there is a powerful wind (notice the hats) which blows the kilts about. This causes the kilt of the soldier on the right to catch on his scabbard.

The claymore is actually between his sholder plaid and his kilt, so nothing is caught up.

I don't believe it's a claymore at all. It's a basket hilt sword (just under his elbow) and the scabbard is, indeed, caught up in the kilt.

Basket hilted claymore, and if the kilt here caught up in his kilt, how could part od it be lower than the hang of the kilt?

I think if you look closer you'll see he's wearing a fly plaid. The plaid is hanging over the scabbard. i might be wrong but that's the way I see it.
