Scottish national costume Scottish men's national costume is a harmonious and well thought out detail, consisting of several parts. Its main distinguishing component is a kilt kilt , which is a piece of special tartan fabric wrapped around the waist. The back of the skirt is decorated with large folds, and it is fastened with several straps and buckles. As a rule, a kilt is worn with a small special bag sporran.

Historical background In the middle of the 19th century, the Scottish national costume became popular among the nobility. As a military uniform, the kilt ceased to exist in 1940, although today it is sometimes used as a ceremonial dress for parades and demonstrations. However, the daily wearing of a kilt in Scotland also eventually receded into the background, and now it is considered exclusively festive clothing.
