Actually the "great" kilt goes back a long, long way.It was a combination 
garment, blanket and several pockets in one piece.
The names given the early celts by the Romans are thought to relate to their 
checkered cloth, clothing, hence the plaid!
In addition the saying "the whole nine yards" refers to the amount of cloth 
to make a proper kilt. I promise to shut up about Scots now!
