tated colours ; the common people mantles of a brown colour,
tear to the colour of heather. They wore no stockings, but
tines, made of the skins of deers or other animals. Many of
t
,ne Scotch went with bare heads, allowing their hair to grow very
one.
The Scottish female habit consisted of a long robe, girdled
round the waist, with a full and flowing mantle, denominated the
THE ARMOUR AND WEAPONS.
