Braveheart is loaded with anachronisms. In the battle scene, set in 1297, soldiers wear kilts, which apeared much later, and Roman-era blue paint while "hanging a moon" like 21st century American teenagers. It's as if a movie on the Battle of Gettysburg showed soldiers fighting with crossbows, spears, Kalashnikov assault rifles, and rocket-propelled grenades.

Thanks for the info. Hollywood had to put their spin on the William Wallace era I guess.
