SCOTS have reacted to images of actor Ncuti Gatwa wearing a kilt in the Doctor Who Christmas trailer.
Sex Education star Gatwa, 31, made his first appearance on Doctor Who during the last instalment of the 60th anniversary episodes.
The first full episode of the BBC One sci-fi show starring Gatwa in his role as the 15th Time Lord will air on Christmas Day.
In a newly-released teaser trailer for the festive episode (below), Gatwa’s Doctor is seen alongside new companion Ruby Sunday, played by former Coronation Street star Millie Gibson.
He is also seen in a nightclub, dancing in a kilt – with Scots reacting to the scene.

One user said on Twitter/X: “Ncuti Gatwa in a kilt is absolutely everything to me. My family came from the same area in Scotland where he grew up and I love.”
Another person added: “Queer joy spinning around in a kilt/skirt with the stunning Ncuti Gatwa and I am so here for it!”
Meanwhile, another said: “WOW. Just a trailer, but wow. 15 is an absolute ball of energy. He doesn’t just run (over rooftop), he leaps! And dances (in a kilt) And is cool as f*ck.
#NcutiGatwa era is upon us.”
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!
