A Viking Kilt!

[Archangel]

My references make it clear that the vikings wore the tunic, as you stated, with trousers. They seem to have preferred trousers, sissies, adapting several comtemporary Eurasian styles. This, I surmise, evolved into ABBA.

Or, possibly A-Ha!

It may well be, to pick up on what someone else wrote, that the word "kilt" is from the Old Norse. It certainly isn't Gaelic, whether modern or Old Irish.

But let's not forget that the Lachlannaich established themselves in the Western Isles (in the old Kingdom of Dal Riada, centred on Islay) as the "Lordship of the Isles and the Kingodm of Man", and in Galloway and Man. A lot of Norse words found their way into Gaelic (actually fewer in Islay and Argyll than in Lewis).

But these Lachlannaich acculturated into Scots (Gaels). And so the clans of the Isles are a mixture of (largely) Norwegian Vikings and Dal Riadans, and residual Pictish elements (and some Strathclyde Welsh)... and who knows what else besides?

I am still convinced that the kilt is a Scots garb: not been dented yet.
