Hollywood decided that the Kilt and Woad are what make people Scottish. They pulled the kilt from the future, and Woad from the Picts of the distant past. EVEN if highlanders at the time were wearing kilts. (I Believe) William Wallace was a lowlander. Lowlanders did not start wearing kilts until the Act of Union, as a protest against being united with England.
