17th Century Scottish garb

[Bugbear]

Here's a weird question, though I'm having trouble with the wording. Did the people in the cultures of the British Isles ever dress up in costumes during these periods? I mean like fantasy costumes?

There have been "masqued balls" and other such costumey events for many centuries, so I'd say yes....

Yes. They did. Masquerade balls. Costume parties. Styles have changed but people have not.

The simplist answer to that is that due to the various sumptuary laws and religious doctrines of the day, it's a good bet that there was not too much fantasy costuming, other than by the nobility at themed parties and by licensed theater groups.
