It's a difficult read, Tarheel. The 'period' discussed in this book is over 1,000 years. Scotland's land ownership issues are longer than it's written history, in other words, and the attire of any people can't be separated from their land and their society. To understand the evolution of the kilt and Highland dress we need to understand the pressures that caused the kilt of the 21C to still exist. Wightman's work here is just an important contributor to that knowledge.
