an Englishman invented the modern day kilt a follow on to the original invented in Ireland thought you would know that
So an Irish man invented a skirt for men and an English woman Mary Quant invented the mini skirt for sexy women Wonder which country had the better idea
Irish didn't, the modern day kilt, as everyone knows it today was invented by an englishman, before that, it was like a hoody so to speak, which the Scots made. For the record, there are 4 types of kilts, English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh.
Not Scottish Bagpipes, haggis, kilts, whisky and tartan: none of these originates in Scotland. Bagpipes are from Asia Minor; haggis was eaten in Ancient Greece. Kilts and whisky are an Irish invention. Even the Scots themselves were an Irish tribe who moved to what the Romans had called Caledonia in the fifth or sixth century AD. “Tartan” is first recorded in English in 1454; it comes from the French tiretaine, meaning “strong, coarse fabric” (from the Latin tyrius, “cloth of Tyre”). In medieval Scotland, “tartan” merely meant woven (as opposed to knitted) cloth. Plaid, now used interchangeably with tartan, was originally the Gaelic word for a blanket. Scottish Scotland has given to the world adhesive stamps, bicycle pedals, the breech-loading rifle, Bovril, chloroform, colour photography, a cure for malaria, the decimal point, the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the fountain pen, fingerprinting, the hypodermic syringe, the lawnmower, lime cordial, marmalade, motor insurance, the MRI scanner, postmarks, the pneumatic tyre, radar, the reflecting telescope, savings banks, the speedometer, the raincoat, Tarmac, Universal Standard Time, the vacuum flask and, of course, chicken tikka masala, which was invented in Glasgow in the late Sixties. if Stephen Fry says this is right then its right so next question what are you WJ a Mick or a Paddy ?
