9. Question
1
Tartan is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in
multiple colours. Tartan is usually associated with Scotland. Scottish kilts, or
garments wrapped around mens waists, almost always have tartan patterns.
2
Tartans originated in woven wool, but now they are made in many other
materials. It is made with alternating bands of coloured threads woven as
both warp and weft at right angles to each other. The patterns are simply
different checked-cloth patterns, chosen by the wearers preference It was
not until the mid-nineteenth century that many patterns were created and
artificially associated with Scottish clans, families, or institutions who were
(or wished to be seen as) associated in some way with a Scottish heritage.
3
In Scotland, the Dress Act of 1746 attempted to bring the warrior clans under
government control by banning the tartan and other aspects of Gaelic
culture. When the law was taken away in 1782, it was no longer ordinary
Highland dress, but was instead used as the symbolic national dress of
Scotland.
4
Until the middle of the nineteenth century, the highland tartans were only
associated with either regions or districts, rather than any specific Scottish
clan. This was because tartan designs were produced by local weavers and
would usually only use the natural dyes available in that area.
5
It is generally stated that the most popular tartans today are the Black Watch
(also known as Old Campbell, Grant Hunting, Universal, Government), and
the Royal Stewart.
6
Today tartan is no longer limited to textiles, but is used on non-woven
mediums, such as paper, plastics, packaging, and wall coverings.
