The kilt is a knee-length non- bifurcated skirt with pleats at the rear, originating in the traditional dress of men and boys in the Scottish Highlands of the 16th century. Originally the Highland sheep breed’s wool has been used to make the kilts: until the 18th century when they got extinct; during the 18th century new breeds were introduced: the Scottish Blackface and Cheviot sheep.
