My name-Burgess has been traced back to the Orkney Islands, possibly my own family around 1500's (this is why it strikes my interest).
Kilts & Highland attire in the Orkneys is a relatively recent thing, and mostly found in pipe bands. The Orcadians in general tend to identify more with their Norse heritage.
