History of the Ghillie Suit
	Originating in Scotland in the 1800's, land owners would hire wardens (groundskeepers) to protect their flocks/herds from poachers and/or predators on their estates. The wardens soon became known as "ghillies", which comes from the Gaelic word "gille", meaning servant/man. One technique these men came up with was to wear suits of frayed fabrics and materials. This would help to conceal them amongst bushes while waiting for the poachers or predators. The suits they made and wore soon became known as "ghillie suits".      The first noted use of ghillie suits by a military was in WWI. Lord Lovat formed the Lovat Scouts to help fight against the great toll being taken by the German snipers. "Ghillies" were brought into the war to serve with the Scouts because of their superior marksmanship and tactics. Supposedly they brought the suits into service with them to get the effective camouflage that the suits created.
