History of Great Kilt
Hello,
I'm a writer, who is running into conflicting information about the history of the kilt. Many sources say that the great kilt was not worn until well after the 14th C, while lately, I'm finding sources that place it much earlier. This morning, I found the Scottish Tartan Society saying a 'belted plaid,' whose description sounds just like a great kilt, was worn in the Highlands starting in the 10th or 11th Centuries.
What I am looking for is what the Highlanders of Robert the Bruce's time, early 14th Century, would have been wearing.
