   It is generally accepted that the Welsh National costume evolved in the late 1700s. The Welsh National Dress though is only for females. There have been attempts to create a welsh kilt for the men but this has not really taken off.

Perhaps they are royalists and proud of him, but I doubt it.My Mum was a great royalist and I well remember the investiture of Prince Charles, back in 1969.These days the British Royal Family seem to get a mixed reception. They still have many admirers, and British citizens who extol their virtues. I am not one of them read more

    The Welsh Flag has just three colours. These are red, white and green. Each of these colours holds a special significance.White represents peace and honesty.Green represents hope, joy, love and in some cultures has a religious meaning.Red represents hardiness, valour, strength and bravery.I guess it is very fitting that the dragon is coloured red. Dragons may be mythical creatures but they easily represent these traits. read more
