Describe some things which are associated with the scots

Scotland is a part of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and that's almost all
we know about it. But there are several things that are usually associated with the Scottish culture.
Those are kilt, bagpipe and others.

The kilt is a knee-length garment with pleats at the rear, originating in the traditional dress of men and
boys in the Scottish Highlands of the 16th century. Since the 19th century it has become associated
with the wider culture of Scotland in general, or with Celtic heritage even more broadly. It is most
often made of woolen cloth in a tartan pattern.
Although the kilt is most often worn on formal occasions and at Highland games and sports events, it
has also been adapted as an item of fashionable informal male clothing in recent years, returning to its
roots as an everyday garment.

Bagpipes are a class of musical instrument, aerophones, using enclosed reeds fed from a constant
reservoir of air in the form of a bag. The Scottish Great Highland Bagpipe and Irish Uilleann pipes
have the greatest international visibility.
