Kilts, robes and dresses have been standard forms of costume for men throughout the world since the beginning of civilisation. It is only in the last few hundred years that trousers have taken over. Some parts of the world have just held onto the old ways longer than others. May 30 02, 11:31 AM

Kilts originated in the Highlands of Scotland -- they were outlawed and/or banned by the British -- trousers were the only allowed article of clothing to be worn by men -- the Scots regained their traditional garb eventually and a Scottish/Highland dance was created to celebrate the victory entitled 'Sean Troose' (the shedding of the trousers) Kilts are also considered as a military component of a uniform -- still very popular among Highland Regiments associated with the British - go figure?
