The entrance of the clans. In case it's hard to tell, the Clansmen (and -women) come marching proudly down the hill from way up in the woods. Having a huge cast is a boon for scenes like this one. Once everybody's dressed up in their "Highland" garb it should be breathtaking.

(The quotes around Highland in the previous graf are to hint at the following historical inaccuracies:

  1. From approximately 1750-1775 (the actual dates elude my spongy brain), tartans and bagpipes were banned. In 1804 (we're updating the show a bit; the original would have been 1746) the Highlanders really didn't wear their kilts very often.
  2. By 1804, the Highlands had largely been cleared of Highlanders, who were sent to America, Canada, Australia, and other places to make room for sheep farmers.
But this is neither here nor there.)

(Yes, I just wanted to show off that I'm a nyerd.)
