Yes, the kilt was worn all year round, despite the snow. The only time trousers were issued to a Highland unit due to cold was the day before the Battle of Arras in 1917, when they were issued to the 6th Black Watch who refused to wear them anyway!
@@thehighlandsubaltern8139 Many thanks. What a handful of brave men. Great respect. "When they come I will stand my ground, stand my ground I'll not be afraid..."
Well done my friend!
Thanks!
A bit off topic but, did highlander regiments wear kilts in winter despite freezing cold, snow and temperatures way below 0°C? Thanks in advance
