While this film is generally accepted to have taken place during 12th century Scotland, the great kilt or belted plaid, as worn by the clansmen in the movie and commonly associated with Scottish clothing, didn't emerge until at least the 15th century, and the first mention in writing did not occur until 1594 when referencing the Highlander soldiers that fought under Red Hugh O'Donnell. Instead, during the 12th century, men wore tightly fitting drawers over their legs (braies and hose) and a long tunic shirt, fitted at the sleeves, that reached either knee or ankle length and was belted at the waist.
