Uniquely Scottish
People around the world associate Scotland mostly with tartan, golf and Robert Burns, however the most common association will be probably whisky! Scotland's national drink in gaelic uisge beatha (pronounced oosh-ga beh-huh), meaning water of life!
Tartan is, without doubt, one of the nation's major 'brands' - instantly recognised the world over as uniquely Scottish.
Alongside tartan, the thistle is perhaps the most identifiable symbols of all things Scottish and nowadays, it can be seen promoting the 'Scottishness' of a wide variety of products, services and organisations.
The skirt-like kilt which is familiar to us today evolved around the middle of the 18th century from the more commonly worn and functional belted plaid (in Gaelic, feileadh breacan or feileadh mor, 'the big kilt').
