Up In Arms in 1957

Notice please the last paragraph:

"Note to Sassenachs, curious about what is worn under the kilt, this same Scotswoman says. "Little black briefs or Tartan under pants. The Highlander always wears them."

Just to be pedantic the "little black briefs" were actually girls' gym knickers and were more usually bottle green since that was the base colour of 95% of tartans. These and the "Tartan under pants" were always referred to by kilt-wearers as "(under)trews" or "short trews" but Highland Dress outfitters often called them "drawers".
