    Pretty sure that the kilt was invented by an Englishman so that scots working in his factories would be less likely to get clothing caught in the machinery and maimed. I say this as a kilt-loving descendent of scots.

    EDIT: To be clear, I was referring to a Small Kilt, whose intention is attributed to an English mill owner named Rallinson circa 1720. Not the Great Kilt, which to my knowledge is Scottish in origin.
