Scottish people have family tartans as a way to symbolize their heritage and clan identity. Tartans, characterized by their distinctive patterns and colors, were historically associated with specific Scottish clans, allowing individuals to express their lineage and community belonging. This tradition has evolved to include personal family tartans, which serve as a unique representation of individual family histories and pride in Scottish culture. Today, tartans are often worn during celebrations and important events, reinforcing connections to Scottish ancestry.

Tartans can be categorized into several types, including clan tartans, which are associated with specific Scottish clans; district tartans, representing geographical regions; and fashion tartans, designed for commercial use and not tied to any clan. Additionally, there are universal tartans, which can be worn by anyone regardless of heritage. Each tartan is characterized by its unique pattern of colors and thread counts, often symbolizing cultural or historical significance.
There are several clans in Scotland, with estimates ranging from around 150 to over 400. These clans are often associated with specific Scottish surnames and have their own ancestral histories, tartans, and symbols.
