 苏格兰人的秘密"。

苏格兰人的苏格兰短裙上必不可少的一件衣服是挂在前面的装饰华丽的袋子,通常被称为sporran。 但是sporran起源于哪里,其目的是什么?

早在12世纪,高地战士就被描述为 "光着腿,披着毛茸茸的斗篷和一个经文[小袋子]...... "当时,这种打扮只限于高地,因为苏格兰低地人认为这种服装是野蛮的,他们蔑视地把他们的高地亲属称为 "红山羊"!在当时的情况下,这种打扮是不可能的!

当时的基尔特是非常基本的服装,不需要裁缝,由一块宽约两码、长约四或六码的格子呢布组成。 布雷坎 ,在 斐勒德-布瑞卡恩(Feileadh Bhreacain 斐乐德-莫尔(Feileadh Mor) - 或如英国人所称 大短裙 它一直垂到膝盖,用胸针或别针固定在左肩上,一条紧身腰带将它全部围在腰间。

这种衣服非常适合高地的气候和地形。 它允许自由行动,紧密的毛布保暖和防水,解开后可以提供一个巨大的斗篷来抵御天气或舒适的过夜毯子,它干得快,比长裤少得多。 但与长裤不同,短裙不能提供口袋,所以Sporran是在必要的情况下诞生的。 作为中世纪钱包的延续,sporran是高地人没有的口袋。

早期的背带是由皮革或皮肤制成的,鹿皮和小牛皮都特别受欢迎。 它们设计简单,通常由基本的抽绳或带有小流苏的皮带在顶部收拢。 西部岛屿的高地人经常穿戴布袋,称为 树枝 .

在许多苏格兰博物馆都可以看到十四世纪及以后的原版围巾。 围巾的历史和演变也可以通过早期的英国军事绘画和高地士兵的画像来追溯;这些后来的围巾开始显示出更多精心的装饰。

从十七世纪末和十八世纪初开始,围巾上一般都装有金属扣,通常是用黄铜制成的,对于氏族首领来说,偶尔也有银制的。 其中一些金属扣的精致加工确实是微型的艺术品。 山羊毛的、 斯波特兰-莫拉赫 这些围巾通常有翻盖和大流苏,以各种毛皮和毛发为特色,如狐狸和马,或者偶尔是海豹皮,所有这些都以獾的头为衬托。

但是,一个苏格兰人究竟在他的皮包里放了什么呢? 好吧,在爱丁堡国家博物馆展出的一个皮包有一个黄铜和钢制的扣子,里面有四把隐藏的手枪,这个装置被设计成一旦有人试图打开上锁的钱包就会发射,从而杀死或残害小偷。

现代围巾,或称 孢兰 - 在盖尔语中,从装弹药或日常口粮的羊皮袋演变到现在,许多羊皮袋都采用了不锈钢甚至塑料!尽管有了现代的改进,但羊皮袋仍然保留了基本的设计原则,从汽车钥匙到手机都可以携带。
