Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[macwilkin]

Ok which one is the kilt don't?

Actually, take a look at Morier's painting of a Highland Charge at Culloden, and you'll notice a number of tartans being worn by the same person:

You will also see kilts and jackets made from the same tartan during this period; Hugh Cheape's Tartan: the highland habit has a nice illustration of this, if I remember correctly.

Would I wear something like it? Probably not, but it's not necessarily 100% wrong, as Nanook stated -- there is historical prescedent for it.
