The Scottish kilt is so iconic now that it’s hard to imagine a time before it. That crisp pleating, the weight of the wool, the swing of the fabric as someone walks—it’s practically shorthand for “Scotland.” But the truth is, kilts are a relatively recent chapter in a much longer story. So, what did the…
It’s one of those questions that starts out kind of playful, but then gets more complicated the longer you think about it. You’re going to Scotland. Maybe it’s a dream trip, a long-anticipated holiday. You’ve got the itinerary lined up—Edinburgh Castle, a couple of lochs, a distillery tour (or three). And somewhere in your planning,…
Buying a tartan kilt isn’t something most people do on impulse. Well… maybe some do. But if you’re here, reading this, you’re probably thinking it through a bit more carefully. You’re trying to figure out what kind of tartan suits you—whether that means honoring your heritage, finding something that fits your style, or just making…

At a glance, Irish and Scottish kilts can look… well, almost identical. Fabric wrapped around the waist, pleated in the back, tartan patterns, often worn with long socks and a sporran — it’s understandable why people get them mixed up.
