（22-23高一下·广东广州·阶段练习）In Europe, men do not usually wear skirts. But the Scottish national costume for men is a kind of skirt. It is called a kilt. The Scottish like to be 1 .

These kilts had 9 stripes going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the colour of the stripes had no 10 meaning. But later the colours became important to the Scottish 11 . Most families had special colours for their kilts. In fact, each family just chose the 12 they liked best.
