[QUOTE=motorman4life]Painting in broad strokes, it is easy to see why and how a 17th and 18th century Highlander would have been a rough character. But, I am sure there was a degree of kindness, compassion and hospitality among their ranks and within their communities (Same as the Vikings and Normans that brought the kilt to the British Isles and introduced it to the Anglo-Saxons that had settled there after the Romans departed).
Where did you get this snippit of info, if you refering to the sagas I think you need more evidence to support your line of thought.
Sorry for being off topic but evidence I sought out suggests that vikings and saxons did not wear kilts.
