章节摘录

　　In Europe， men do not usually wear skirts. But the Scottish national costume for men is a kind of skirt. It is called a kilt. The Scottish like to be different. They are also proud of their country and its history and they feel that the kilt is part of that history. Thats why the men still wear kilts at old-style dances and on national holidays. They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always used to wear.　　Thats what they believe. However， kilts are not really so old. Before 1730， Scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket around their shoulders. These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories. So， in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt——the kilt. Thats how the first kilt was made.　　Then， in the late 1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts. One reason for this was national sentiment. The Scottish soldiers wanted to look different from the English soldiers. The British Army probably had a different reason. A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find. The Scottish soldiers fought very hard and became famous. The kilt was part of that fame， and in the early 1800s men all around Scotland began to wear kilts.　　These kilts had colourful stripes going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s， the colour of the stripes had no special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colours. But later the colours became important to the Scottish families. By about 1850， most families had special colours for their kilts. For example， men from the Campbell family had kilts with green， yellow and blue stripes. Scottish people often believe that the colours of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact， each family just chose the colours they liked best.　　This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland. Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colours are as old as the Scottish families. Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts！
