@andy_highlander: Continuing my count down of my favourite videos from 2024, we go back to May at Blackness Castle I was joined by none other than @Luisa | Scottishgeologist who helped me demonstrate how to wear the great kilt Let me know who else I should collab with in 2025! The Great Kilt, also known as the belted plaid, is one of the most iconic garments associated with Scotland. Originating around the 16th century, it was worn as a practical and versatile piece of clothing that could serve as a cloak, a blanket, or even a shelter. Today, the Great Kilt remains a popular and highly-regarded symbol of Scottish culture The Great Kilt was first mentioned in writing in the late 16th century, but it’s likely that it was worn in some form before then. Originally, it was made from a single length of woolen cloth that was pleated and draped around the body, with the ends brought up and fastened at the shoulder with a brooch. Over time, the Great Kilt evolved, with different styles and methods of wearing it emerging. By the 18th century, the Great Kilt had become the standard dress of the Highland clans, and it was worn for both practical and ceremonial purposes. The material used to make it was often woolen, but other fabrics such as linen and cotton were also used. The Great Kilt remained in widespread use until the end of the 18th century, when it was replaced by the more modern, tailored kilt. caption source:clan.com #Scotland #kilt #greatkilt #outlander #howtowearthegreatkilt #scottish #history #andythehighlander #scottishgeologist #18thcenturydrip #fitcheck
