Braveheart: Kilts in the Wrong Era

Mel Gibson’s Scottish war epic “Braveheart” features an iconic costume blunder. The film, set in the 13th century, showcases characters wearing kilts, which didn’t come into fashion until three centuries later. While the Scottish face paint seen in the movie is historically accurate, it would not have been worn during the same period as kilts.

This mix-up provides a humorous touch to the otherwise intense and dramatic narrative. The sight of kilts in a time when they didn’t exist adds a layer of unintentional fun for viewers who enjoy spotting historical inaccuracies in movies. Despite this, “Braveheart” remains a beloved classic for many fans.
