DAVID Duchovny celebrated his Scottish roots this Christmas by kilting up for the big day.
The Golden Globe winner, known for his role as FBI agent Fox Mulder in The X-Files, was in Barbados for Christmas. But he didn’t let the 29C heat get in the way of a national dress typically worn in a more modest temperature.
The actor posted the picture on his Twitter feed, with a simple “happy holidays” message.
Duchovny’s mother, Meg, comes from Whitehills in Aberdeenshire, and though he’s not been back to the home country often, it’s not the first time he’s worn a kilt in the family’s MacFarlane tartan.
The star wore the dress when was in Edinburgh for the premiere of his romantic comedy, Return To Me, back in 2000.
Duchovny reportedly refers to himself as a “macaroon,” because his mother is Scottish and his father was Jewish.
According to the Mail Online, Duchovny was on holiday in Barbados with his children — 19-year-old daughter Madelaine and 16-year-old son Kyd — whom he raises with his ex-wife Tea Leoni.
He recently announced plans for a European tour for February 2019, off the back of his new rock album, Every Third Thought.
There is no Scottish date scheduled at the moment, with Duchovny playing only Manchester and London during his stop in the UK.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
