    Intriguing that you say returned to their homes? Their homes in the 12th & 13th centuries were very much in the Islands, the Norse Gaelic Dynasties of the Kingdom of Mann & the Isles (The Sudries) were well established and from their linage springs many of the Western Highland clans such as the Campbells and McDonald's. It wouldn't have been the kilt, more likely the Leine perhaps with a plaid but the 1st reference to Hebridian mercenaries "belting their mantles about them" is from the 1500's...
