If there’s one thing that can be send about the people from Scotland, it’s that they love two things – their football, and their kilts. While most people outside of Scotland think of kilts as simply a plaid skirt that men wear, there’s actually more to it than meets the eye.
History of Kilts
The kilt is considered to be the national dress of Scotland. Considered a garment to be worn on special occasions by many, it actually has deep cultural and historical roots. Kilts have been around since the 16th century. The term is a Scot word that referred to garment tuck up around the body. A number of records point to the tartan wrap as the origin of kilts.
