sry ricky , i guess its actually a skirt since it requires one to wear a blouse or shirt and a dress is all of one peice .
Interestingly - and this is a fact most Scots don't mention - the modern kilt is an English invention. The true Scottish kilt was a sari-like arrangement of thick wollen cloth. Come the Industrial Revolution, Scottish workers in factories were too hot in them, and thus the English factory owners invented a more lightweight kilt.
Have you never heard of the "Devils in Skirts" -- the (very respectful) nickname the Germans gave to the soldiers of the 51st (Highland) Division during WW1.
The Jocks Also known to the Germans as 'The Ladies from Hell'. Also known Post WW2 in Minden as 'The Poison Dwarfs'.(but not to their faces!)
despite their penchent for cross dressing ,scots have a well earned reputation for being tough soldiers .i have to wonder though if the devils in skirts , ect appellations are something the germans actually said or something else ...ie. the ronson ,jug ,fork tailed devil debate ?
jappers would have a very hard time pronouncing " whistleing death " what the prolly actually said was more like " wisserwing deff " when spotting a corsair .
