Just what makes a traditional kilt?

[Jock Scot]

So where does that leave modern kilts stemming from 19th century highland revival and romanticism?

From my point of view THIS is where the traditional kilt starts from. The 19th Century.

We can split hairs all day long with this date or that date and never agree.

We can also split hairs of this historic style or that historic style to eternity and get absolutely nowhere in this discussion. So endless discussion on minute historic detail , though important to some, is heading us straight into the mire.

Come on chaps, we all know what a traditional kilt is without delving into historical attire minutiae . Don’t we?

Well, my plan failed! Its my fault, I should have made myself more clear. Sorry. I am talking more about the end of the 19th century onwards and particularly, the last 75 years
