    THE HISTORY BEHIND THE HIGHLAND WEAR The history behind this type of dress, especially the kilt, is kind of interesting and engrained in some very historical events. An example is the “Dress Act,” which was enacted in 1746 by King George II. Under this rule of law, King George II outlawed a kilt-wearing a kilt, claiming that it represented revolt and unruliness by the Scottish people.

    The origin of Ekka The first 'Royal' Show was held in 1921, when the Association was granted the prefix under warrant from His Majesty King George V. Since then, the shortened name 'Ekka' has replaced 'Exhibition' in the Queensland vernacular, indicating locals' affection for the show. Ekka has since been held every year with only three exceptions - in 1919 due to the Spanish Flu epidemic, in 1942 when the grounds were used as a World War II staging depot and in 2020 due the the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
