Question

When you think of Scotland, what comes to your mind? Maybe the beautiful green scenery or the national dish. But what makes a Scot stand out straight away is the national dress of Scotland: the kilt. The kilt is a special dress. Most Scottish men wear it. The dress dates back 500 years. The Scottish

highlands were wet at that time. It was difficult for soldiers to move around without getting stuck in the mud (陷在泥中）.The kilt was made to give them an advantage over their enemy (敌人).Kilts are very flexible (灵活的），making soldiers easier to move in. What’s more, you can use the kilt as a blanket for those cold nights.

In modem times, the kilt has become a symbol of Scottish spirit, culture and patriotism (爱国心). People wear kilts for special events, such as weddings, ceremonies (庆典）and the traditional Scottish sporting event known as the Highland games.

But that’s not all. The colors of a kilt show your family history. That's because each design stands for a different Scottish family. So a Scotsman is not only wearing the national dress of his country, but also the spirit of his family. There’s a famous saying in Scotland, “A man in a kilt is a man and a half.”
