It is certainly a ladies skirt but it's very, very old. Like it said it was my 30 y.o. friend's great, great, grandmother's who lived her whole life in Scotland. It wasn't passed down as just clothing but rather as the matriach's "kilt". It could be a fashion tartan, but it's interesting the amount of reverence that was accorded to what seems to have been just a simple woolen garment...
