UK, Ireland / Scots better than Poles? [41]

The Kilt was dress for the lairds never for the common folk as myth would have you believe.

The kilt was a practical dress wear for gaelic tribes long before the romantics took the notion. According to the Romans ect.

The History of the Kilt stretches back to at least the end of the 16th century....

Unfortunately you choose to read articles on wiki rather than history. First kilts were worn in Scotland and Ireland around 400BC if you go by statues and drawings dated back to then...

...These people are simply believing what they have been told

Hardly misconceptions, the Statue of Galician King.
Kilt, or plaid depending on what historical evidence you choose to follow is far older than a 16th century's modern romance with the highlands. It was firstly used as a blanket that would be tied around the waist. I guess you think folk walked about in adidas tracksuits lol

Geeez, wish some folk would read about history rather than google the crap ;)

Can you imagine lairds up in the glens stealing cattle and needing a blanket lol

History / Polish - Scottish history - which part of Krakow did Scots settle? [4]

Recently in Scotland there has been a big influx of Poles living here getting into Scots history, especially where our history is tied.

Poles are making a massive map of Scotland to celebrate the ties ect
mapascotland.org

I was wondering in which part of Krakow did Scots settle, history tells us they were given a district but finding info on that district is difficult.
