History of the Kilt

[phil h]

So if the little kilt evolved over a period of years across the Highlands, where does this leave the Rawlinson story? There are actually several versions of this, amongst the most common being:-
1) Rawlinson invented the little kilt round about 1725 and compelled his workforce to wear it.
Now, if you’re willing to believe that Rawlinson could force a group of Highland lumberjacks, for that is what they were, to cut their kilts in half simply because he said so then I’m sorry, you are obviously a candidate for membership of the Flat Earth Society – they’d have been far more likely to have cut Rawlinson in half!

Just for the record (not picking sides here guys) check out #1 where Robbie does mention the Flat Earth Society.

Thank you for pointing that out Colin. I'd read the post twice and skimmed right over it. Just goes to show the rudeness went both ways.
