Back in ancient Egyptian times, wigs were worn over shaved heads, which allowed for greater comfort in hot climates and sun proteaction, and also provided a means by which individuals could stave off lice. Greeks, Romans, Assyrians, and Phoenicians also wore wigs too.
The term Whig was originally short for 'whiggamor', a term meaning "cattle driver" used to describe western Scots who came to Leith for corn.
