The Scottish kilt is amongst the most unique parts of the country’s identity and subsequently can be traced back to the 16th century, when it appeared as a belted plaid. This evolved from a thick woollen cloth, known as “Tartan” with the word ‘kilt’ potentially being Nordic in origin. Others believe it comes from a Scots word that means to tuck up clothes around the body.

Come the 1620s they were worn by Highlanders for military use, and later the Jacobites adopted them as their informal uniform. `Many different versions of the “Tartan” is used to manufacture the kilts which reflect the names of Scottish families here for instance the “McDonald Tartan”.
