Kilted Etymologies

[JakobT]

Being part Swedish I was always interested in the Scandanavian origins for kilt. But I suspect it was more rooted in a woman's skirt than in a gentleman's kilt. A blue and yellow Swedish tartan would be nice.

There is a Gothenburg tartan which contains yellow and blue, and there are at least three or four other Swedish tartans as well.

Thanks. I'll do more searching and I'll be sure to look up the Göteborg.
