The Scottish costume is composed of a TARTAN, a KILT, and kilts. TARTAN is a patterned cloth that is usually associated with Scotland and is made up of different colored stripes. The KILT is a knee-length garment that is pleated and is traditionally worn by men in Scotland. Kilts are similar to the KILT but are shorter and are usually worn by women. Together, these three items make up the traditional Scottish costume.
