Jack McConnell. 3rd.First Minister of Scotland 2001-2007, wearing a kilt.
The kilt should not be confused with the skirt, which is of a far lighter fabric and can be of varying length, and generally worn by females.
Traditionally the kilt is worn without underwear, although this is often ignored by modern wearers.
Green kilts are worn in Ireland; and male apparel in other parts of the world has also bees described as kilts.
