Tartan looks just like plaid to American eyes, but in Scotland it is very distinctive and used to identify various Scottish clans.
Since the 19th century, the kilt has become associated with the wider Scottish and Gaelic cultures. Kilts are often made of a woolen cloth in a tartan pattern. Usually worn at formal events, competitors also wear this Scottish outfit at the Highland Games.
Generally, we think of tartan as the name for the cloth and plaid as the name for the particular pattern, but the words are often used interchangeably so that tartan can mean any checkered pattern and plaid can mean any checkered fabric. Plaid's original definition is 'as a woolen cloth having a checkered or tartan pattern'. It evolved to mean any such checkered or tartan pattern. Tartan's first definition is a 'woolen cloth woven in stripes of various colors at right angles to form a rectangular pattern; also, the pattern and design of such a cloth. Both words were first recored around the same, c.1500.
