History of Great Kilt

[Woodsheal]

Tartan mantles are OK for Gaels of Bruce's day, but not the true belted plaid (referred to as "great kilts" these days). They don't show up in period descriptions until the late 1500s, so you can figure they were worn no earlier than the early part of that century....
