    When swords and targes were in use the sgian was not carried in the hose. That is a relativley modern addition to Highland dress. General concensus is that they would have kept it tuck somewhere near the armpit or anywhere else they could get at it easily. But not in the hosen.

    A great video. I especially like the pictures toward the end of the various ways one can wear the Kilt.
