    From "Under the Black Flag" by David Cordingly "...one of Maynard's men being a Highlander, engaged Teach with his broad sword, who gave Teach a cut on the neck, Teach saying well done lad; the Highlander replied, If it be not well done, I'll do it better. With that he gave him a second stroke, which cut off his head, laying it flat on his shoulder."

    For those who don't know, Teach was better known as the pirate Blackbeard.

    I can not verify the historical accuracy of a kilted pirate..... However, aboard ship it would be impractical to wear a kilt. The apron mentioned earlier has been documented in several books as have the breeches. I don't, however, see why a good Scotch Pirate wouldn't wear his kilt on dry land.
    Now. As a member of the SCA I see kilted pirates quite a bit at events, especialy Highland war.
