Why do Scots wear skirts?

It is a tradition that Scottish men wear skirts.

The history of Scottish skirts can be traced back to16th century. The word "Kilt" comes from Scandinavian Guskane, which means clothes that are folded and wrapped around the body. At first, it was the costume of Highlanders in Scotland. At first, it was a piece of uncut cloth 1 or more, 5 meters wide and 6 meters long. It was folded and wrapped around the body and fixed at the waist with a belt. In order to cope with the rainy and cold climate, there is also the practice of soaking cloth in goose oil to achieve waterproof effect.

This kind of clothing is very suitable for the climate and terrain in the highlands. The lower body looks like a short skirt, which is more comfortable than trousers and moves freely; The upper body can be used as a cloak to keep out the cold, and the belt is a blanket.
