I on
I only recently found out the truth why they wear kilts.
And ? …
i have computer problems ,still here goes. the reason I recently discovered why scotsmen wear kilts goes back hundreds of years when they fought the English. Running away so fast they had no time to go to do their business with trousers on. So the kilt became the answer to having a pee on the move
Och, the noo !!
Sounds feasible and good hygiene practice … I wonder what the French did at Agincourt? 
Rusty chainmail?
No WD-40 in those days!

And the outcome of that running away was being taken over, colonised. I am very much with Renton from Trainspotting on this issue.
“It’s shite being Scottish! We’re the lowest of the low! The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash, that was shat into civilisation!
Some people hate the English, I don’t! They’re just w–kers! We, on the other hand, are colonised by w–kers! Can’t even find a decent culture to be colonised by! It’s a shite state of affairs to be in.”
Renton would not wear a kilt.
Morty, Kilts originally emerged in the 16th-century Scottish Highlands as a survival tool. The “great kilt” (féileadh mòr) was a massive, 5-to-6-yard piece of heavy wool. It provided unmatched mobility across rugged terrain, dried faster than wet trousers, and could be unrolled to act as a blanket or makeshift sleeping bag in the harsh, unpredictable weather.
The modern, tailored kilt (féileadh beag) emerged in the 18th century, but it wasn’t always a widespread symbol. After the 1745 Jacobite uprising, the British government passed the Dress Act of 1746, outlawing Highland clothing. This ban sought to suppress clan identities, making wearing a kilt an act of rebellion. When the ban was repealed in 1782, and following a romanticized revival of Highland culture—bolstered by King George IV’s 1822 visit to Edinburgh—the kilt transitioned from everyday peasant wear into a celebrated symbol of national pride and heritage.
