Musings on a recovered memory: Back in my teenage reading, a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson and I suspect it was "Kidnapped,' had the hero travelling through the highlands in the wake of the Bonnie Prince and him observing that some of the men were still wearing the kilt but with 'a few stitches' taken between the legs to make them trousers under the legal definition. Just curious, has anyone encountered this in a legitimate history or was it just a literary device to show the regional Scots' defiant attitudes?
