kilt
Le kilt ou "Highland dress" d'un Écossais date du 16ème siècle et était autrefois constitué d'une seule pièce d'étoffe. Au 17ème siècle, on en fit deux vêtements séparés: le "kilt" et le "plaid". C'est aussi de cette époque que date le "sporran" (une bourse attachée à la ceinture). Ce n'est qu'au 18ème siècle que les différents "tartans" (motifs écossais) furent créés pour des familles ou des clans spécifiques. Pour des occasions particulières ou des mariages, beaucoup d'hommes portent encore le "kilt" de nos jours.
