Scottish Costume

Scottish costume traditionally includes garments like kilts, which are knee-length skirts made from tartan fabric representing specific clans or regions. Men often wear a tailored jacket, sporran (a pouch), and hose with garters, while women may wear tartan skirts or dresses. Accessories such as sgian dubh (a small dagger) and brooches are also common. These costumes celebrate Scottish heritage, history, and identity, often worn during cultural events, ceilidh dances, or formal occasions. The tartan patterns and specific attire symbolize clan loyalty and regional pride, making Scottish costume both a cultural symbol and a display of tradition.
