solid color great kilts

[Bugbear]

Ok, copied and pasted from my thread, "Traditional Solid Color Kilts and Definitions"
http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...nitions-51672/
Here's what Matt Newsome said:

But as for simply "non-tartan" kilts, those have been around for as long as the kilt itself, and are very traditional. It has never been a requirement
that a kilt be made from tartan, and though tartan has always been the most popular cloth for making kilts, other options have always been there.

The earliest evidence we have of a solid color kilt is in a portrait of Sir Duncan Campbell of Lochow painted in 1635 (recently posted in the historic
portrait thread). He's wearing a solid red feilidh-mor.

Guess it was red rather than blue. The thread has an interesting line of discussion, too.
