The Great Kilt Conspiracy Debunked
2008-05-18 23:11:00 Lord Dacre, esteemed authenticator of the Hitler Diaries, debunks Scottish Myths in his book The Invention of Scotland: Myth and History to be published five years after his death. Sounds like a policy paper for an English Nationalist party.?In Scotland, it seems to me, myth has played a far more important part in history than it has in England.?Indeed, I believe the whole history of Scotland has been coloured by myth; and that myth, in Scotland, is never driven out by reality, or by reason, but lingers on until another myth has been discovered to replace it.?He claims that the ?myth? of the ancient Highland dress was perpetuated by historians to provide a symbol by which Scots could be universally identified, as well as to support the country?s textile industry.The traditional dress of the Highlanders was in fact a long Irish shirt and a cloak or plaid, he states, and only the higher classes had woven in stripes and colours creating tartan. How will Alex and the boys be able to per...
Up Yer Kilt Hugh Cheape from Mel Gibson and Me
2008-04-20 00:03:00 Apparently all those Braveheart images of uncouth semi naked highlanders dashing into battle with their bagpipes and kilts is just romantic imagination. Well blaw me doon.But contrary to popular belief, the great Highland bagpipe never led the Scottish clans into battle against the English, nor did kilted pipers carry them around the castles of Highland chieftains, playing laments to the fallen. In fact, says a new history by a leading authority on the much-loved ? and loathed ? instrument, the Highland bagpipe was invented less than 200 years ago, primarily for urban audiences. And what's more, it was largely created using money from wealthy Scottish emigres living in London. In a new book, Hugh Cheape, a leading Gaelic historian and expert piper, argues that the origins of the instrument have been confused by decades of mythology and deliberate invention; even, he hints, by deception. Like most tartan regalia and the modern kilt, the great Highland bagpipe and many of its traditi...

Kilt
2008-03-08 21:19:00 One of the Scottish national symbols is kilt, a traditional garment of modern Scottish and Celtic (more specifically Gaelic) culture typically worn by men (from Wikipedia).clipped from www.macgregorandmacduff.co.uk 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. This is known in Gaelic as the feileadh beag (philabeg) or little wrap.The top and bottom parts were separated, the top half (the plaid) being worn over the shoulder and detachable for comfort. The bottom part was now tailored with sewn in pleats but no hire companies were on the horizon just yet.Originally the apron of the garment (the front part) was left unattached but one story, possibly apocryphal, has it that during a visit by Queen Victoria kilt wearers were subjected to strong winds revealing to her majesty what was worn underneath! Perhaps that's why she became so fond of Scotland...

I just ordered some wrap pants, also known as fisherman pants or Thai fisher pants. I looked at some cool "Sufi pants" but the wash/care instructions are

The Kilt
2007-08-22 18:50:00 In Scotland, the most important time for a young lad is when he "comes of age" and is allowed to purchase and wear his first kilt.A couple of weeks before, his important birthday, a young lad went to a tailor shop and found the material he wanted for his first kilt. He took the material to the tailor and said, "I'd like ye to make me a kilt with this material here and, if ye don't mind, I'd like ye to make me a pair of matching underwear for it. I hear it gets a might drafty up dem tings!"So the tailor took the material and promised to call the young lad when the order was completed. A few days later, the tailor called the lad back to the shop. "Here's ye kilt, and here's ye matching underwear, and here's five yards of the material left over. Ye might want to take it home and keep it in case you want anything else made of it."So the lad rushed home with his order, threw the material in his room, and donned his kilt. In his excitement, he decided to run to his girlfriend's hou...

2007-03-26 12:58:00 Gopnik in a kiltThe WaPo's erudite Oxford-trained, chief art critic pens an interesting review (which has already caused some comment flaming) on the current exhibition "Italian Women Artists From Renaissance to Baroque," at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.But my issue with the review are not the possible historical inaccuracies in the article, but this statement:"Who and what you are matters to what your actions mean to others. My wife wears a skirt, and no one notices; if I did, I'd have to claim McGopnik blood to get away with it."McGopnik!!!!McGopnik!!!"Wha-s like us? Gie few an thur aw deed"First of all, Scots wear kilts - not skirts... and "Mc" is generally the Anglicised version of the Irish Celtic form for "son-of," while "Mac", not "Mc", is the is true Scottish Gaelic form, and thus what Gopnik should have written to make his point.So he meant "MacGopnik."I know it's pedantic, but ...
Irlanda - Schull y Clonakilty
2007-03-17 17:06:00 Ver fotos ruta sur Empezaba en Cork la segunda parte del viaje. Paul y Su nos recogieron en el aeropuerto para llevarnos primero a tomar unas pintas al pueblo de Bandon, y luego a su lujoso chalet en medio del campo, entre cerros y vacas. No se podÃa pedir más en Irlanda que unos anfitriones irlandeses, conocedores de cada rincón de este precioso paÃs. Si DublÃn no me habÃa impresionado, estas costas agrestes de piedra negra, estos pueblos de costa, y las montañas nevadas conseguirÃan que cambiara mi impresión de esta tierra de separatistas. Durante el dÃa fuimos a ver la costa, algunos acantilados, y a degustar un aténtico beef irlandés. Condidió que este sábado era San Patrick, el dÃa de la fiesta nacional. Por la coche se traducirÃa en litros de alcohol, y durante el dÃa en desfiladas y otros actos curiosos. Esto es un concierto de música Celta entre Guinness. Luego pasamos al pub Debarras, donde habitualmente se celebran concie...
Can I borrow your kilt?
2006-12-27 08:38:01 Scots without kilts? What’s the world coming to? From USA Today: LONDON (AP) ? Great Scot! A shortage of ceremonial kilts could leave thousands of soldiers without a stitch of plaid to wear as they parade to the skirl of the bagpipes. Military officials said Monday that more than 5,000 Scottish soldiers are having to share their kilts because defense chiefs have not finalized a contract to buy enough of the garments to go around. The men, who face regular tours of duty in south Iraq and Afghanistan, have just 320 kilts, or one for every 15 soldiers. … “The kilt is psychologically important for the identity of Scottish soldiers,” said Lt. Col. Willy Macnair, who served in the defunct Queen’s Own Highlander regiment. “It may mean that some soldiers in this (new) regiment, by the time they leave, may never have worn it.”

Men In Kilts
2006-12-21 09:22:06 I’m a sucker for a man in a kilt. Can’t help it. Those legs better be strong, though. Kilts are for manly men. Keep skinny, white chicken legs covered up in pants - NO KILTS FOR YOU! Here’s a really good reason why I wish kilts would go mainstream: It is true what they say - REAL MEN wear kilts: And a word of advice…in answer to the age old question: Never, EVER let the answer be pink man-panties. NEVER. That’s just wrong in so many ways. I shall make amends and leave you to contemplate what’s under there: I’ve found great kilts at KiltsUSA, NeoKilt, and Utilikilts. Guess what my man is getting for his birthday? By the way, did you know that the United States Marines have an authentic registered tartan? It’s called the Leatherneck Tartan. And here’s a news video clip of a U.S. Marine who played the bagpipes on the front lines in Fallujah in 2004. Neokilts custom-made several desert camo kilts for First Sergea...
