Great Kilt

Great Kilt

The Great Kilt, also known as "Feileadh Mor" in Scottish Gaelic, is a traditional dress that has been an integral part of Scottish culture for a long time. Its roots can be traced back to 1603. It is put on by Highland clansmen to protect themselves and provide mobility when fighting and hunting. There was a "belted plaid" variation, featuring pleating at the waist. It was usually made of acrylic wool and measured about 5 to 10 meters in length. It was typically worn wrapped around your waist, and after that, draping the rest across the shoulders and over the body. This provided a warm shield against the brutal Scottish weather and gave the freedom to move. It changed over time, and various variations were developed. A popular design included "belted plaid," which consisted of making pleats around the waist and attaching them to the leather belt of leather. This made it easier to move.
