The traditional dress worn by Scotsmen is called a kilt. The kilt is a knee-length skirt-like garment made of tartan fabric, which typically features distinctive patterns made up of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands of color. The kilt is often associated with Scottish heritage and culture and is commonly worn during formal events, celebrations, or Highland games. It is usually paired with other traditional clothing items, such as a sporran (a small pouch worn at the front), hose (knee-length socks), and shoes. The kilt symbolizes Scottish identity and is a point of pride for many Scots.
