The tradition of wearing kilts started in the Scottish highlands. A kilt was a piece of cloth.
Men tied the kilt round their waists with a belt. They used a sporran, a small leather bag, to keep money and other valuable things in.
At night, they used the kilt as a blanket. By the 18th century, kilts were like the one in the picture below on the left side.

The traditional cloth for kilts is tartan. Tartans can be many different combinations of colours. Scottish clans or big family groups traditionally have their own tartan.
