Sash

• Sashes are light tartan scarves worn over a shoulder and across the chest. The different ways of crossing the sash signaled the woman's social class. The wife of a clan chief would wear the sash crossed above the waist, over the left shoulder, where it was fixed with a brooch. Other women in the clan wore it crossed over the right shoulder. Married women who wanted to wear their family's tartan could wear the sash over the right shoulder joined together in a bow on the left hip.
  
  

Arisaid

• The arisaid is a woolly, long and wide scarf, which reached down to the ground and looked like a cloak. Women worn it plain or pleated, over a petticoat, during the colder months. The arisaid did not have tartan patterns; it was often plain with a colored border. To wear the arisaid, a woman fixes it around her waist, using a belt. Then, she wraps the rest around her shoulders and head.
  
  

Kertch or Snood

• A married woman wore a kertch, which was a linen head square. Single women wore a snood, which was a long ribbon passed under their hair at the back and fastened with a bow on top. However, this costume is more related to the women living in the southern lowlands of Scotland. Some women preferred to wear a mutch, which was a close-fitting linen cap.
  
  

Tonag or Guailleachan

• Also called guailleachan in Gaelic, the tonag is a square piece of tartan worn over the shoulders and fastened in front with a brooch. Designed to protect against the rain and cold weather, a tonag was often passed down as a heirloom through the generations. Women often wore the tonag over the arisaid.
