Bond

Connery's mother was a MacLean of Duart thus he wore MacLean tartans, including the Ancient Hunting. My family is a sept of the Macleans of Lochbuie but we may wear either branch colours.

Sean Connery

was a MacLean,

wore Duart,

ancient hunting

colours.

 

Kilt pleats

swishing

confidently

as he strode,

hand on sporran.

 

The very tartan

I wear with

pride.

Totes... I too agree that Vin Diesel was the best Bond out of all of them. Connery was bald as a que ball and that guttural Scottish accent was just embarrassing.

Thank you Big 'E'. Am leaving the site after many years as it has no real moderation or control of trolls and is becoming moribund.

I'm sorry to hear that John. I think you are a strong and unique voice. Its true … the Cafe' does have its obstacles at times… :(

I'm not sure I understand this one. I've never really paid attention to actors.

This guy is a legend Kari and we are from the same clan and wear the same tartan kilts! Many thanks for reading. PS I am not into celebrity culture either!

"shaken, not stirred"
where the hell are my olives?
this is so cool, John.

I remember my favorite Bond lines...
when he asked Goldfinger.....
"Do you expect me to talk?"
"No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die"

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh I recall those lines well too Jacob. He WAS James Bond. Many thanks. Oh and your olives are in my stew!

Congratulations sir. You should be very proud. I did not know that about you. The whole world loves and admires Bond. I have been fascinated too.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I love to wear my kilt and I use my Duart kilt for normal everyday wear and my family tartan for special occasions. Many thanks Sami.
