Thanks Matt and Todd for a wonderful article that is both informative and scholarly!

From the article:
"It is worth noting that the Ulster region in Ireland was at this time being settled heavily by Scottish emigrants..."
Moreover, the history books tell us that some significant portion of these settlers were from the Highlands including 5 highland nobles, namely -- the Duke of Lennox, his brother Lord D'Aubigny, the Earl of Abercorn, the Lord of Burley and Lord Ochiltree.

So, my question is, along with the large Highland immigration to Northern Ireland, is there any evidence of the Highland dress (namely the kilt) being brought with them? It would seem that the answer is NO, which seems a bit peculiar to me. Could it be that although the kilt existed at this time, it was not actually all that popular, or was it more of a desire to blend in and adopt the dress of the locals?
