+Patriot1962 Well I get out enough to know about Scottish history, being Scottish and having lived here for sixty nine years. The kilt never really existed in sense that it was never a traditional garment worn by most Scottish people, a few rich people wore it but even then it was for a relatively short time period. The fact is most of the culture of Scotland is a myth propagated by Walter Scot, there was no ancient great plaid kilt; the Great Kilt (Feileadh-mhor) is also a relatively recent invention of the 16th century. Just like Gaelic which was never really spoken by the majority of the population of Scotland, (that’s the people who live in the central belt and southern Scotland), so the kilt is part of the same of myth. Even when this kilt was worn it was primarily the dress for the rich fashion set, especially in the highlands (a very sparsely inhabited area), that amount of woollen cloth (a whole nine yards of wool) was hopelessly expensive for the peasant majority of the North West highlands. I’m afraid in Scotland like most men throughout much of Britain for centuries they simply wore rough Truis with a tunic and a belt after that a cloak; incidentally the weather being so bad here, particularly in the highlands, that people permanently caked their clothes in animal fat for water proofing. Sorry but you can forget about all these romantic highlander warrior myths and cults if you believe in them (Robert the Bruce and William Wallace would have never worn it, firstly because they were southern Scottish that spoke no Gaelic and therefore no clans or history of Tartan but also it would be another three hundred years after they died before the kilt was invented), I’m afraid life in Scotland was tough, short, brutal and incredibly smelly. Also the precise codification of different clan tartans is a Victorian imposition; though it may have some basis in historical fact, a few wealthy aristocrats were outfitting their family and followers in recognisably modern uniform tartan livery ( men inTruis ) at least 200 years ago, however a wide choice of dye colours is an entirely modern though. Prior to the invention of artificial dyes in the 1850s, we were largely limited to whatever colours could be made from plant/animal-based sources in a particular area. Before then, brightly coloured dyes were a rare and very expensive imported luxury. Whilst it is true that some areas/islands had their own individual setts (weaves), for most the standard was simple homespun. Which meant that a different pattern would be used at each weaving was dependant on seasonal variations in the availability of dyestuffs. Tartans tended to be regional rather clan based; so that several clans shared the same tartan; however the complexity of tartans is still a comparatively modern; it would not be until after (1715 and 1745) rising that many of these dyes became available. Never mind getting out more you require to read more Lol!
+Patriot1962 All the information on highland culture is provided by the historians at the Newtonmore folk museum, where the faithfully replicate architecture/clothing and life style of various time periods throughout northern Scotland. I’m wrong you say! Which part exactly is incorrect, since you obviously know more than me about Scottish culture? I bet you haven’t even been over here, have you?
It was the 'feileadh-beag' which was 5-6 yards. Anyway both the large and the small kilt were really only the reserve of the aristocracy because only they could afford such garments and that's why the kilt is almost a myth; until recent times few people historically actually wore it.
You F'coffee It was actually worn by poorer folk quite a bit, they just weren't the fancy ones that chieftains might've had. Farmers in the lowlands would wear them, normal folk in the Highlands. It wasn't always an everyday garb but you didn't need to be rich to get it. It's not like they had a shortage of wool in the Highlands.
+Numpty and now you think you insulted me? Good grief you must be a self centered .......... ( fill yourself) i know saffron is not a tartan and that is what I meant. I send kisses and hugs.
***** Hi I had been replying to a few messages on the day mostly disrespectful to Scotland I guess I was in the wrong frame of mind when reading your's so I apologize for my last remark.Still to my mind if it's not tartan its a skirt and to me that includes saffron.;-) x
I am so proud of my irish and scottish ancestry for wearing their kilts with pride.

The feileadh mor wasn't usually 9 yards. It was more often 5-6.
