Scottish men are introduced as follows

The kilt has its origins in an ancient garment called the kilt. It is a kilt that runs from the waist to the knee and is made of tweed with a continuous pattern of large squares, which are distinctly shown. In the view of the Scots, "Kilt" is not only their favorite national costume, but also a symbol of the Scottish national culture. 1707, after the merger of Scotland and England, "Kilt" was retained as the national costume of Scotland. The Scots wore the kilt to express their resistance to English rule and their strong desire for national independence.

In 1745, the Hanoverian dynasty in England suppressed an armed uprising by the Scots, and then issued the famous "ban on the kilt", which prohibited the Scots from wearing the kilt, and only England's dress as a standard, and those who violated it would be sentenced to imprisonment or banishment. The Scots launched a long struggle for more than 30 years, and finally in 1782 forced the Hanoverian dynasty canceled the "ban on skirts", won the right to wear a skirt for themselves. A Scottish national costume consists of a knee-length tartan skirt, a waistcoat in matching colors and a tweed jacket, and a pair of long, knitted stockings. The skirt is fastened securely with a wide leather belt, under which hangs a large fanny pack, centered on the front of the tweed skirt, and sometimes a tartan blanket is draped diagonally over the shoulders, held in place by a card at the left shoulder.

To the foreign traveler, the Scottish wear chequered skirt is not much different, in fact, it is not. Although the fabrics used are all patterned with chevrons, each has a different design. Some with a large red as the main base, on the black and green stripes constitute the square; some with a dark green as the base, above the light green stripes. Some have smaller squares and some have larger ones. Some are brightly colored and some are plain. In the past, each design was officially registered for the record and could not be used indiscriminately among the various ethnic groups. But over time, this chevron skirt style is more and more, it is estimated that no less than a thousand kinds. Today, whenever the residents of the Scottish Highlands celebrated the gala, always wearing a beautiful chequered skirt, cloak, head wearing a high crown of black hair, the left side of a white feather, the waist with a black and white pouch, wearing a white shoe cover, short woolen socks, long only knee pants, played the bagpipes of the happy, jumped "Sintra Bohas" dance, a rich Scottish national style, the Scottish Highlanders. A strong Scottish national flavor came out.
