The Glasgow comedy legend has lent his Tartan Day kilt as part of the People's Tartan collection at the museum. It was worn by Sir Billy when he led the annual Tartan Day parade through New York in 2019.
"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.
