The tartan originated from the Scottish culture  and is a pattern that consist of  horizontal and vertical lines that are criss crossed in multiple colours.  They were usually made in wool and used to create kilts whose colour pattern represented the clan. A longer tartan was thrown over the shoulder to accessorize the kilt. It was developed sometime after the union with England against a protest (Trevot-Roper, 1983).
