...bizarre and ludicrous as its sponsor. Along with the traditional drums and dancers, the center of attention was Amin's "Black Watch," a motley assortment of Ugandan soldiers in Royal Stuart tartan kilts, tunics, diced glengarries and plastic sporrans decorated with pied crow feathers. A dozen Africans puffed Scotland the Brave on bagpipes-a measure of Amin's admiration for the Scots, which dates back to his days in the British army...
