n recent years the kilt has become the national dress of Scotland but what makes it unique is that even non-Scots have taken to wearing it as formal dress.
Hire shops have become very popular Worldwide and reasonable hire charges have made it probably the only national dress you would see worn in almost any country in the world.
The original kilt was known as the feileadh mhór (philamore) or "big wrap". After the ban and during the 1800s the kilt evolved into something like what we wear today.
