That's some good ole TMI there Colonel buddy.

That's what I thought while I was watching her. She managed to do that in about two seconds. One second she is squatting down, the next second there is a pool there.

Back to the topic. What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt on a really windy day in the year 1584 ? I never wondered. Until this thread, that is.

If you watch the Outlander series, you'll see the kilts they wore very different than what they wear now. If the costuming is historically correct, that is.

This is the type of kilt that I saw in photos and paintings of 1800s lords etc. when I visited Scotland this summer :

That's a small kilt.

I'm never going to be able to look at Prince Charles in a kilt again lol

Some pictures from Outlander. Jamie Fraser. Hopefully the costumer designers are doing their best to be historically correct.

Same series. Murtagh
