It's usually paired along with a coat, shirt or other accessories like an apron (a belt that is worn at the waist) as well as a kilt-pin as well as a the sgian-dubh (a tiny knife to be worn inside the sock).
The Great Kilt is a very ancient style of dress that goes back to around the 16th century. The first time it was worn, it was a garment with multiple uses which could serve as warmth, blankets or even an emergency shelter. In time, it evolved to become a formal dress to be worn on special celebrations and occasions.
The 18th century saw it was in 18th-century times that the Great Kilt was replaced by the "Little Kilt" or the "Philabeg." The kilt was shorter in length, typically only approximately 4-6 yards long it was paired in conjunction with a jacket, and accessories like those used with the Great Kilt.
In the present, both The Great Kilt and the Little Kilt continue to be used by those who are fascinated by Scottish tradition and culture.
