∙ 15y agoTartan (kilt) did indeed originate in Ireland, which was introduced to the then unnamed country of Scotland by the Scots, who moved from Ireland to re-found their ancient kingdom, Dalriada and gave the Scotland its name. The very first form of tartan is nothing like its modern day counterpart; it being a form of shirt that ended just above the knee - known as léine in Irish Gaelic.

Tartan and Kilt are 2 separate items. The kilt is the national dress of Scotland and the 'tartan' describes the colours and pattern on the kilt. The Kilt did NOT originate in Ireland. The Irish did indeed wear an item of clothing called a Leine which was a tunic which extended to the knee. The kilt is a separate garment which drops from the waist.
