TRADITIONAL dress from the 16th century and surely a constant in every Scotsman's wardrobe, the KILT comes into its element when Winter comes a knocking. Modern days deliver a 6-8 yardage of fabric, wrapping around your waist. Back in the days of working in the glens and hills of the Highlands, this would have been double in length and at night used as a very warm wraparound encasing the wearer and 'keeping the cold oot', as they say. Hark back to the good old days.
The photograph above is shot on Lamma Island. Self Portrait. 20mm. TRI-X 400. Added the kilt in post...
December Full Moon rising. Kinda in the style of an REM short film. "That's me in the corner..."
