| Tartan was worn by clansmen of the Scottish highlands as early as the 1660s. Tartan is a pattern, commonly called plaid, that consists of stripes of varying widths and colors, crossing at right angles against a solid background. Certain tartans are associated with specific Scottish clans, regiments, or geographical districts. Tartan is now worn mostly for ceremonial or formal occasions. | ||||||
