Why do Scottish men wear skirts? What is the origin of Scottish men wearing skirts?

Bagpiper in plaid skirt, bartender in plaid skirt, soldier in plaid skirt, family man in plaid skirt ... For Scotland, just like plaid skirt and bagpipes are inseparable, Scotland without a man in plaid skirt will also be stale. Scottish short skirt, English suit, is a short skirt from waist to knee, made of tweed with continuous large squares on the fabric. The English and Scots have been arguing about the origin of short skirts. According to the English saying, an Englishman named Tom rawlinson first advocated wearing a kilt. 17 15, the British government began to allow people from England and Scotland to trade with each other. Tom rawlinson went north for gold and opened a charcoal painting factory in northern Scotland. His workers used to wear uncut clothes, about 5 meters long, wrapped around their bodies, tied with belts at the waist, folded with pins at the shoulders above the waist, and similar to short skirts below the waist. This kind of clothes is not convenient for workers to cut down trees because the shawl and skirt are connected together. Tom Rowlinson proposed to the tailor to split the original dress in two, and the kilt was born. But the Scots believe that as early as 1692, the locals wore two short skirts sewn together and wrapped them around their waists. According to historical records, as early as 1624, the Scottish army used kilts as uniforms.

Scots regard kilts as "formal dresses" and wear them at weddings or other more formal occasions. The Scottish army also uses kilts as uniforms. In the eyes of Scots, short skirts are not only their favorite national costume, but also a symbol of Scottish national culture. 1707, after the merger of Scotland and England, short skirts were preserved as national costumes. Scots wear this kind of clothes to show their resistance to British rule and their strong desire for national independence. 1745, after Hanover Palace suppressed the armed uprising of Scots, it issued a famous "skirt ban order" in British history, which prohibited Scots from wearing skirts, and offenders would be imprisoned or exiled. The Scots fought for this for more than 30 years, forcing Hanover Palace to cancel the "skirt ban" in 1782.
