Doctor Who - Jamie MacLeod

Description

I can explain.

So one day I was browsing Jamie's Wikipedia page when I ran across the following footnote:

"The MacCrimmons were a genuine piping family, and one of the most famous piping families in the Scotland. They were pipers to the chiefs of Clan MacLeod. Although the MacLeod's own tartan is actually yellow, Jamie always wears a red kilt in the series."

The MacLeod tartan is basically my school colors. Brain-crazies demanded that I follow this through to its logical conclusion.

And here we are.

I did this traditionally mainly because I knew that I would DIE if I had to do the tartan pattern digitally. Pencil-in-my-hand + paper = more control. Actually, it's those socks that gave me hell. Probably never doing those again. Yes, I know that his arms are the wrong lengths. Yes, that is the Second Doctor's recorder he's holding. I was considering drawing him playing the bagpipes but then I REFUSE TO PHOTO-REF BAGPIPES.

So yeah. *quietly slips out the door*

Also I blame ~ladyyatexel for reminding me that Jamie is the awesomesauce by drawing him and Two quite a bit.

Jamie McCrimmon belongs to Doctor Who.
The College of Wooster belongs to Wooster, Ohio.



Seriously. We have a Scottish Arts Society. We have a bagpipe band. We have a bagpipe scholarship. We have that tartan on half of everything. The entire marching band wears kilts. Any given day in my first semester, what did I hear when I passed the music center? Bagpipes.

We are that Scottish.

Not only that, I just googled the tartans, and the MacCrimmons  do wear MacLeod officially. I also checked MacLaren (who Jamie piped for), and theirs is mostly green. At least 20 years of TV historical dramas by 1966, and no one at the beeb thought to check?

(Eta: And I never thought to check previous comments. The one from BlueSuburbanSkies16, right before mine, for example.)
