Kilt- With pleats at the back, a type of knee-length non-bifurcated skirt has been worn since the 16th century.

You might have seen Scottish males wearing a cloth that looks like a skirt with tartan patterns. You wondered why the hell a man is wearing a skirt. Just say that word to a Scottish man and get ready to be punched right in the face. I am not kidding.

The kilt is not a “SKIRT.” It is a traditional outfit/dress of Gaelic males in the Scottish Highlands. Men in Scotland wear Kilts to formal events, particularly ceilidhs, weddings, dances, and graduation.

Wearing kilt is a tradition that modern-day Scots are proud of.

History of the Kilt:

There is a lingering perception that the kilt has been a part of Scottish culture since forever. No, it has not. Though kilt has been worn by many celebrities such as Sir Sean Connery, it was not a part of Scottish culture before the 16th century. However, it has become a symbol of Scotland now, and the Scotts proudly wear this garment on formal occasions and sometimes less formally as well.

It was the end of the 17th century when the first Kilt was introduced as the belted plaid also called the great kilt. It was a full-length cloth/garment and the Scottish men used to wear the upper half of it as a cloak.

Scots used to Drape the cloak over the shoulder or wear it over their heads like a hood. The modern kilt, which is essentially the bottom half of the great kilt/ belted plaid, was developed in the 17th or 18th century.
