What is Christy Morgan - Historical Scottish Customs and Dress PDF about?

Traditional Scottish male dress included kilts or trews, a sporran, sgian dubh, and ghillies brogues. The Dress Act of 1746 banned Highland dress to weaken Jacobite support but was repealed in 1782. While tartans were associated with clans after 1745, evidence suggests clan identification was previously achieved through bonnet decorations alone. Kilts evolved from the belted plaid and are now considered formal wear. Trews were originally long hose but modern trews are more like trousers.
