Interesting 1773 Description of Kilt

[Bugbear]

The is no evidence that tweed existed until towards the middle of the C19th. It's much more likely that the overall hue of the cloth, plain or patterned, was being described.

I would guess so, all of the references in the texts to tweed are discussing the river Tweed, and none describing fabric.

Thanks for pointing that out, figheadair.
