Tartan
English Meaning :
A woven fabric, of which kilts are made.
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When the law was repealed in 1782, it was no longer ordinary Highland dress, but was adopted instead as the symbolic national dress of Scotland.
Each clan, such as McDonald, McLean and Macfarlane, will have their own tartan (or tartans.) Example
