Well it is my understanding that  most Celts..of the 11th and 12th century, regardless of the regions they lived in,  wore the ubiquitous T-tunic..  or a variiation thereof..  an undergown or shirt, with a tunic for the men and an overdress for the women. I have seen reference to a garment called a 'leine'  that was essentially an ankle length robe worn by both men and women.

Well said Tracie,

Western Isles makes it a little easier, since the population was principally
derived from Dalriadic Scots [i.e. Irish] and, from the late 8th century
onwards, a growing proportion of Norse.

I'd be interested to know what Kathy thinks a 'Celt' would be wearing.

Guğrum
