James Robert 'Jamie' McCrimmon, 'Fury From The Deep' (1968)


The only companion thus far to wear a kilt through time and space, the closest we ever got to finding out if Jamie was a true Scotsman was in 'The Invasion', from memory, when he was climbing a ladder at the IE HQ to escape the Cyber-augmented Tobias Vaughn. There's a lovely story about how he weighted it down to stop it flying about in the wind. Still, given Jamie visited Tibet, the 3000AD Ice Age and the freezing North Sea, you'd hope he had some thermals on under there, or I wouldn't expect the clan McCrimmon to have expanded much when the Time Lords shoved him unceremoniously back in the midst of a Highland battle at the end of the second Doctor's reign.
