Quirky Kilts
Ask people what they think of when they picture Scotland, and we bet someone will say kilts! The traditional Highland dress is known globally and is one of the reasons people are drawn to the country – just remember don’t ask someone what’s underneath!
Scotland’s national dress is a knee-length non-bifurcated skirt with pleats at the back made of woollen cloth in a tartan pattern. The kilt is normally dressed with a shirt, sporran, high woollen socks, and in some cases headwear and a sgian-dubh – a knife that sits in the high woollen socks. However, we’ve some really quirky kilted things and we just had to share them with you!
Kilted Yoga
Kilted yoga has taken the world by storm and went viral back in 2017. The movement speaks to how the outdoors can do so much more for your mind, body and soul than simply doing yoga, and any fan of Scotland will know there’s plenty of outdoors there to replenish all those things! Founder Finlay Wilson combined his love for both Scotland and Yoga and created an amazing movement enjoyed by many globally. You can now even get books and calendars about the wellbeing campaign!
