The kilt, which the comedian wore at the Tartan Day parade in New York, is described as The Big Yin’s Grand Marshal kilt and will be displayed from Friday October 13 until January 14.
Scotland’s best loved comedian has sent his kilt to a tartan exhibition in Dundee. Sir Billy Connolly has lent his Tartan Day kilt to the V&A Dundee as part of the People’s Tartan collection.
“For the occasion when I led the Tartan Parade in New York, a Scottish kilt-maker called Howie Nicholsby made me a fantastic kilt. He’s at the head of the movement to make the kilt a windswept and interesting alternative to trousers all over the world. I love that. “On the other hand, when I got married to Pamela it was in Fiji and I had a Fijian sarong painted like a tartan kilt – well, in that heat a woollen one would have been nightmarish. There’s more nonsense talked about the kilt than anything else in Scotland.
