How did the Scots start to wear kilts? There are many stories about it. One story is that the kilt was invented in the 1720s by an English factory owner, Thomas Rawlinson.
Rawlinson had a number of Scottish workers in his factory and he thought their clothing got in the way of their work. So he cut their long clothes into shorter skirts.
Today, most Scotsmen look the kilt as formal dress. They usually only wear them at weddings or big dinners. There are only a few men who still wear a kilt every day.
Scots also wear kilts in parades（游行队伍）when they play their traditional musical instrument bagpipes. The army still has kilts as the dress uniform, but they no longer use them when fighting.
