Yes. It's REAL, not CGI. Ultimately reality, being true, is the most beautiful thing

Allt a' Bhonnaich being where Robert the Bruce (inspired by his—likely apocryphal none-the-less empowering—spider) and though outnumbered at least 4:1 by the English not only defeated, but slaughtered them in a horrific two-day battle.

Many "traditional" clan tartans were designed by weavers in Bannockburn in the 18th century in response to an edict by King George IV. HIStory is so fankled 'twill, 'tis deimhinn, to leave you ramfeezled (History is so tangled and confused that it is certain to leave you exhausted). HERstory will not, for 'tis never told.

However, as this wonderful image shows, there is both beauty and progress in the world.
