The age-old question of whether Scots wear anything under their Kilts has been around for many years and continues to be a topic of debate even today.
The Kilt itself is a traditional form of dress originating in Scotland, and is typically made of Tartan fabric. It is typically worn around the waist and is secured with a belt or buckles. Kilts are widely recognized as the national dress of Scotland, and can be seen being worn at a variety of occasions, from formal events to everyday life.
The traditional answer to the question of whether Scots wear anything under their Kilts is no, they normally don’t wear undergarments beneath their Kilt. The Kilt alone is sufficient to cover the wearer’s modesty.
However, it should be noted that there are some situations in which a Scotsman may choose to wear something underneath their Kilt.
For example,
- In really cold weather, some Scots may choose to wear an underskirt or long underwear to keep warm.
- If they are partaking in an activity which will likely lead to them exposing their privates.
Ultimately, there is no specific rule or tradition dictating whether or not Scots should wear something under their Kilts, so it is ultimately up to the individual to decide.
