"This is the grandfather of the modern kilt the Great Kilt Its name in Gaelic means great wrap. Another name for this garment is breacan-an-feileadh which means tartan wrap.

In English this garment is typically referred to as a great kilt or belted plaid. These names all are descriptive of the garment.

"Kilt hacks with Andy the Highlander I have made several videos now showing the traditional way to pleat and wear the Great Kilt. If you havent seen them go and check them out It usually involves laying the full piece of fabric out on the ground and then lying down on top of it once the pleats are in place. However I get asked often what people would do in the cold wet conditions of Scotland when they didnt want to lie down on the wet ground - or what they would do if they didnt have much space. I hope this answers some of those questions #andythehighlander #highlandertours #scotland #scottish"

"Here is a demonstration on how to wear the Great Kilt Huge thanks to @Luisa Scottishgeologist for being my volunteer The Great Kilt also known as the belted plaid is one of the most iconic garments associated with Scotland. Originating around the 16th century it was worn as a practical and versatile piece of clothing that could serve as a cloak a blanket or even a shelter. Today the Great Kilt remains a popular and highly-regarded symbol of Scottish culture The Great Kilt was first mentioned in writing in the late 16th century but its likely that it was worn in some form before then."

"The Scottish Great Kilt and the Indian Sari may come from different parts of the world but both are powerful symbols of cultural heritage. Filmed with my wonderful friend Harvinder @Romi - these traditional garments are similar not just in how theyre worn but in what they represent. After I posted my first kilt video I had lots of comments mentioning that there were similarities between the Great Kilt and the Sari today we get to see them side by side Both are unstitched lengths of fabric draped and tied to the body. Both carry stories of resilience identity and ancestral knowledge passed"

"This is the enchanting process of waulking the wool or waulking the cloth It is the last stage in the production of homespun tweed. During this process the cloth would be soaked then beaten rhythmically usually by hand to shrink and soften it. It would generally be carried out by a group of women on a hard surface such as a table. Waulking songs would be sung throughout this laborious process in order to keep the rhythm and make the work a little easier. It was also a social occasion with the opportunity to catch up on local news and gossip. The lyrics to the song in the video are below: Mo"

"The Scottish Great Kilt and the Indian Sari may come from different parts of the world but both are powerful symbols of cultural heritage. Filmed with my wonderful friend Harvinder @Romi - these traditional garments are similar not just in how theyre worn but in what they represent. After I posted my first kilt video I had lots of comments mentioning that there were similarities between the Great Kilt and the Sari today we get to see them side by side Both are unstitched lengths of fabric draped and tied to the body. Both carry stories of resilience identity and ancestral knowledge passed"

"This is the enchanting process of waulking the wool or waulking the cloth It is the last stage in the production of homespun tweed. During this process the cloth would be soaked then beaten rhythmically usually by hand to shrink and soften it. It would generally be carried out by a group of women on a hard surface such as a table. Waulking songs would be sung throughout this laborious process in order to keep the rhythm and make the work a little easier. It was also a social occasion with the opportunity to catch up on local news and gossip. The lyrics to the song in the video are below: Mo"

"Heres a wee edit of various different videos I have made over the years showing how to pleat and wear the great kilt while talking a bit about tartan Not only was tartan garb banned so were bagpipes and the owning and carrying of arms. The Act stood for XX years: The 1746 Act set out its intentions in its opening lines: An act for the more effectual disarming the highlands of Scotland; and for the more effectual securing the peace of the said highlands; and for restraining the use of the highland dress caption source: Scotclans.com #andythehighlander #highlandertours #scotland #scottish"

"Half a capital and half a country town the whole city leads a double existence; it has long trances of the one and flashes of the other; like the king of the Black Isles it is half alive and half a monumental marble. Robert Louis Stevensons Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes from which this quote is taken is full of beautiful descriptions of Auld Reekie. Despite being set in London Stevensons famous tale of Jekyll and Hyde is thought to be heavily inspired by Edinburgh because of this double existence. source:edinburghnews.scotsman.com #edinburgh #scotland #scottish #visitscotland #explorescotland"
