    2009 Telegraph article re: no kilts at Bannockburn

    Comrades,

    I stumbled across this article from The Telegraph from 2009 and while I'm confident that this topic has been discussed on this forum, I wanted to risk re-posting information to share the link anyway for your reading interest. The author reports on research which suggests that kilts were not worn until the end of the 15th century and, instead, the Scottish men more commonly wore a long tunic with a jerkin on top. I seem to recall that the Irish were traditionally depicted also wearing a long tunic, belted at the middle. Interesting and short reading anyway.

    Regards,
    Jonathan
