I'm wondering if we have any knowledge of the historical use of the plaid with the small kilt. Today, we wear it occasionaly, as a matter of pomp and ceremony. Certainly the sight is stunning. But was there a point, when the plaid was worn, if you will, "with purpose" along with the small kilt, used as an extra layer of protection against the weather? Do we have any examples of its usage (written or painted), as perhaps cloak or cape?
