Although it has been disputed, there's a pretty ample supply of 
evidence that some Scots soldiers did wear fillamores into battle, 
and I have even seen a drawing from the 16th century, I believe, of a 
Scottish boy wearing what looks suspiciously like a fillabeg variant, 
long before its officially acknowledged introduction.
