The traditional Scottish garment worn around the waist is the kilt. This knee-length garment is made of tartan fabric, which consists of vertical and horizontal patterns of colored stripes. Although kilts are often associated with Scottish men, women can wear them as well as part of traditional attire. They are typically worn during formal occasions, weddings, and cultural festivals and are an essential symbol of Scottish heritage. The kilt's origins date back to the 16th century, and it has evolved into a significant cultural icon that represents Scottish identity, pride, and history, celebrated in various traditions and events.
