The English banned kilts, except for the military. the results was that the kilt became a formal military uniform. And therefore full of strict rules on how to wear it. traditionally, you could wear a kilt or a great kilt however the fuck you wanted. it was what the people wore, from plebs to royals.

Like, I get it - the clearances aren't recognised enough as being one of the earliest genocides of the British Empire, but it wasn't just the English who were responsible. Plenty of Lowland and Highland Scots were complicit. Nowadays I think a lot of us recognise that the kilt as typically worn is not the same as 500 years ago, but we still wear it with pride. I sure as hell wouldn't want to wear a great kilt to a good ceilidh! permalink fedilink source parent
