The Kilt

The kilt is seen as an item of traditional Scottish Highland dress, although

the origin of that tradition is more recent than is commonly believed. It
was only with the Romantic Revival of the 19th century that the kilt
became irreversibly associated with Highlanders, largely because of nonHighlanders reinterpreting their traditions. Today most Scotsmen see kilts
as formal dress. They are often worn at weddings or other formal
occasions, while there are still a few people who wear them daily. Kilts are
also used for parades by groups like the Boy Scouts, and in many places
kilts are seen in force at Highland games and Pipe band championships as
well as being used for Scottish country dances and ceilidhs. The army still
continues to have kilts as dress uniform, though they are no longer used in
combat.
