Thomas Rawlinson

Thomas Rawlinson est un industriel anglais du XVIIIe siècle qui serait l'inventeur du kilt moderne. Peu de choses sont connues de Rawlinson, y compris ses dates de naissance et de décès. Né en Angleterre, il serait un quaker qui s'est réfugié dans les Highlands, après que la rébellion jacobite de 1715 fut matée, pour y établir un atelier pour travailler le fer.
