Scottish Kilts And Other Gifts

Scottish Kilts for men are the traditional formal attire of the Highlanders of Scotland

. Made of tartan woven from local Scottish wool of good wool, kilts for men are worn on ceremonial occasions these days while earlier the every day attire was kilts for men. This traditional dress; kilts were also symbols of pride for their culture and tradition and loyalty to their clan, province and the country.

Since Kilts were made of premium wool and woven by the Tartan Weaving Mills of Scotland, there was really no such a thing as cheap kilts. The Scottish Kilts for men were constructed from a good length of fabric; a kilt for a grown up man is made of 6 to 7 meters of single width fabric. A bigger man could even need 8 meters for his kilt. How can there be then, cheap kilts?

There could not be cheap kilts for men that were used by Scottish clans, however now women wear skirts that are in every way like kilts for men, these could be cheap kilts as much less material is used to make them. Kilts that are bought as souvenirs to be given as Scottish gifts could also be cheap kilts as the pleats at the back are not so deep and therefore require less tartan than the kilts for men of the Highlands.

The tartan pattern on the kilt is called a sett. Traditional plaid tartan weaving is used in heavier woolen fabric for kilts for men, however, finer and lighter wool is used to make the traditional tartan scarf. The tartan scarf has become a popular fashion accessory and is largely exported all over the world. Many tourists who visit Scotland take back the tartan scarf as a souvenir if not the Scottish kilt. The tartan scarf is not necessarily worn with the kilt but can be worn with any contemporary dress in the colder climes. A tartan scarf is one of the many Scottish gifts for men and women alike, reminding them of your visit to Scotland.

Scotland is a land of many crafts and skills that are inherent to the people of Scotland. Enterprises related to the wool industry are common with many articles using wool as raw material being produced by hand or by machines. Visitors to Scotland take home Scottish gifts as souvenirs or gifts to friends and family. Articles made of tartan such as kilts, skirts, caps, belts, pins, handbags or scarves are ideal Scottish gifts for those who are interested in tradition and culture. Handmade and machine made cardigans, sweaters and jumpers from the isle of Aran or Fair Isle are interesting and useful Scottish gifts. Cashmere wool cardigans or shawls and throws, blankets or even caps and socks spell luxury and are expensive Scottish gifts.
