Austria claims to have invented tartan kilts

Recommended Posts

lol Thanks Viggen, not to worry I had completely forgotten about it! and come to my own conclusions as to what the blue pip was. ;)

Pasta was definitely popular during Tudor times, Henry VIII scoffing loads of the stuff. Let's face it, it's one of the easiest foodstuffs to make. Apparently you can get it at the Hampton Court Palace kitchen restaurant.

 

Going back to tartan, the article linked to in the original post also points out: "Brian Wilton said the oldest tartan authenticated was found in China 500 years before the time of Tutankhanum." Guess it only goes to show it's true that fashion is regurgitated time and time again.

In the bronze age wasn't the area now called Austria populated by the Celts? I beleive it was, so I guess the kilt goes back pretty far.
