Scottish tartan
Clan fabric design
Scottish tartan is a pattern of intersecting horizontal and vertical stripes in multiple colors, woven into wool cloth.
Specific tartans are associated with Scottish clans, families, and regions, though many "ancient" clan tartans were actually invented in the 19th century.
The pattern has become symbolic of Scottish identity and heritage: He wore his family's Scottish tartan to the wedding.
