    On that 1641 woodcut, three of the men are kilted -- one has a kilt above the knee, one right on the knee, and one well below the knee, but still not ankle length.

    I was thinking of some of the earlier illustrations showing the longer leine.

    Ah, fair enough. To me one of them looks like his kilt length could be interpreted as close enough to ankle length as makes no neverminds. But you've no doubt studied that and other pictures more than I have. BTW, I've been meaning to make my way down to the museum soonish, are you generally around? I'd love to meet you.
