Kilts and Covenanters

[Phil]

Anyone care to add info for or against kilts so I can advocate for a balanced and accurate portrayal?

As you rightly say, the Covenanting movement came about as a protest by presbyterian Scots against the attempt by Charles I to impose an episcopacy on them. Their dress would have been very much as you would imagine your own pilgrim fathers who also suffered religious persecution at the time. The wearers of kilts at that time were exclusively highland Scots living in the rugged north and west of the country and who were almost exclusively of the Roman Catholic faith - something completely anathema to the Covenanters. So the answer unequivocally is - No the Covenanters did not wear kilts.
