The Real Scotland

The Real Scotland

Scot Kirsten McCoy answers readers’ questions about Scotland.

Is it true that Scottish men wear skirts?

People sometimes ask this, but what they are actually talking about is the
Scottish kilt. Scottish men wear kilts on traditional and formal occasions, from
weddings and funerals to the Highland Games and traditional music events.
Scottish kilts Kilts date back to the 1700s.
The kilt comes down to the knee and is made of a thick kind of cloth. It is called
1 twill and it is from high quality wool. It has pleats, or folds in the cloth, at the
sides and back, but not at the front. The checked pattern, which is called tartan,
2 comes in hundreds of different varieties. That’s because each Scottish clan, or
family, has its own pattern. The Scottish wear it with a shirt, jacket and tie on
formal occasions, as well as hose (knee-high socks) and ghillie brogues (a kind
3
of leather shoe). A sporran, meaning ‘purse’ in Scottish Gaelic, hangs at the
front. This is a small pouch to keep things in, since kilts don’t have pockets.
Finally, a kilt pin holds the kilt together, often at the bottom on the right-hand
4 side.
Unlike some other traditional pieces of clothing, the kilt is very popular. On
visits to Scotland, the men of the British Royal Family always put on kilts, which
are often made of Balmoral tartan, the Queen’s own special pattern. Scottish
actors like Ewan McGregor, Gerard Butler and James McAvoy are very proud to
wear their kilts. Tartan is also very popular, appearing on hats, scarves, socks
