Description
xThe Mackenzie Scottish Traditional Flashes are a part of traditional Scottish attire. Flashes are decorative garters worn with the kilt. They help hold the kilt hose, or socks, in place. The Mackenzie Flashes are specifically tied to the Mackenzie clan, a historic Scottish family.
The history of the Mackenzie clan dates back to the 13th century. The clan is from the Highlands of Scotland, an area known for its rugged beauty. The Mackenzies were known as warriors and landowners. They played a key role in Scottish history, including battles against rival clans and supporting the Scottish kings.
Flashes became part of Scottish dress in the 18th century. Before that, men wore simple garters to keep their socks up. Over time, these garters became more decorative, leading to the creation of flashes. The Mackenzie Scottish Traditional Flashes feature the colors and patterns of the Mackenzie tartan. Tartan is a special type of plaid fabric that represents different clans.
The Mackenzie tartan is known for its rich green and blue colors, with black and white stripes. The flashes are made from this tartan and are worn as part of formal Highland dress. They add a touch of color and heritage to the outfit.
Today, people wear the Mackenzie Scottish Traditional Flashes at special events. These include weddings, Highland games, and other celebrations of Scottish culture. Wearing flashes is a way to honor Scottish traditions and the history of the Mackenzie clan. For members of the Mackenzie family, it’s a proud reminder of their roots and their connection to the Highlands.
