Traditional clothing of Scotland

The Highland dress refers to the traditional dress of Scotland which are globally admired and recognised as a symbol of Scotland. Kilt appears to be the characteristic dress of the Highland from the sixteenth century.

A kilt is a knee length skirt without any bifurcation whose upper half could be draped around the shoulder or brought up over the head as a hood. Dress of scottish women is not much of a difference than the costume of women in neighbouring countries (England and Ireland). Something equivalent to Kilt worn by women would be a traditional item known as Earasaid.
