BUMBLING Hollywood heartthrob Dougray Scott made a last minute dash to hire a kilt to become chieftan of a highland games after forgetting his own.

The Fife-born star of Enigma and Mission Impossible: 2, flew up from his London home on Wednesday to act as chieftan at the Markinch Highland Games. But just before the event started he realised he had not packed his Scott family tartan and had to hire an unknown weave.

The actor said he was delighted to be chieftan at the games as it would make him equal with his best friend Ewan McGregor who hosted the Crieff games last year.

He said: "I can't believe I forgot my family kilt but it was one of those things.

"I'm thrilled to have been asked here because I used to come as a boy. I was a bit envious when Ewan was asked to be chieftan but now I can say I was one too."
