Speaking about his trip, in a video shared on TikTok, Fallon said he travelled to Scotland to take a trip on the Royal Scotsman when he had a chance encounter with some soldiers from the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
The comedian was visiting the River Dee near Balmoral Castle when some members of the King’s royal guards, the 5Scots battalion, recognised him and invited him to the Victoria Barracks in Ballater for dinner.
The invitation, along with its black-tie dress code, left him with a dilemma – where to get a suit or a kilt, at such short notice.
He approached staff at the Fife Arms where he was staying who went the extra mile to help their guest.
Fallon said: “I called the night manager and I talked to him. I said ‘I need to get a kilt tonight’ and he goes ‘I’ll figure something out’, so Muir gave me his own kilt.”
The manager pieced together a full ensemble of kilt, jacket, sporran, hose and brogues.
