Vintage dolls are in really nice condition. Looking to find out a few things about them if anyone cares to share. What would they be called? Where are they from? What is significance of safety pin/button on hat? Anything else would be appreciated

The colors of the Kilts are wonderful. The colors and pattern usually represent a clan (family) name like Campbell , MacDonald and so forth.
Thank you....Scotttish ?
My guess is these are made for the tourist trade.
The safety pin is just to imitate a kilt pin (to stop it flapping open) and I think the hat button either holds the hat together or holds it on the doll's head. Many of these tourist dolls were made in Hong Kong. They are so cute, and nicely costumed for the price they were!
Definitely Scottish. Irish dolls generally don't have kilts- it's not really considered national dress. Usually a shawl is, etc.
Thank you again Caper. Thx Racer & Lauren as well. Appreciate the love as well from all.........
