féileadh-bhreacain

** sm The kilted plaid. This consisted of twelve yards or more of narrow tartan which was wrapped round the middle and hung down to the knees. It was most frequently fastened round the middle by a belt and then it was called “breacan an fhéilidh,” or “féileadh-bhreacain.” The breacan, or plaid part of this article of dress, was, according to occasion, wrapped round the shoulders or fastened on the left shoulder with a brooch (bràist) of gold, silver or steel, according to the wealth of the wearer. By this arrangement there was nothing to impede the free use of the sword-arm.
