My mother in law, bless her heart, is in love with the kilt. As her family name and heritage is directly tied to Robert the Bruce, she has always had a fascination with Scottish knights wearing tartan kilts, at least in court.
When I broke it to her that the kilt didn't come to popularity until a good 200 years after the death of Robert the Bruce, she insisted I needed better information.
What are the chances that William Wallace and the King of Scots wore kilts, at all, during the 14th century? If they didn't, why are their statues depicted with kilts?
Hi, Wallace (or more specifically Braveheart) used to be a very popular topic in this sub; you may be interested in a couple of posts on kilts

pirieca again, and u/missginj in When did the Scots start wearing kilts?
