Is the burberry pattern a tartan?
The burberry "plaid" is a tartan recognized by the Scottish Tartan Authority (WR1239). But most people confuse the terms tartan and plaid. In modern terms, a tartan is a weave of coloured threads registered with the Scottish Tartan Authority as a clan or district tartan, a national or corporate tartan, designed to denote a group of people. For example, the Scottish Parliament recently authorized the use of a new tartan to commemorate its 10th anniversary. Canada and its provinces have official and unofficial tartans to represent their populations. The tartan recognized widely as that of the province of Quebec is, in fact, a corporate tartan designed by a clothing manufacturer. Similarly, the burberry plaid was designed by the Thomas Burberry company, first for use as lining for its trenchcoats in the 1920s. It is a corporate design used in clothing manufacture but has become so popular that it is one of the most copied trademarked designs in existence. Historically a plaid had very little to do with tartans, as it was the term for a large piece of cloth worn draped by Highland men and women. Clans began to weave these cloths in patterns that came to represent membership in that group and eventually the terms became synonymous. So, the Burberry plaid is a tartan. Only in North America, though, are the terms plaid and tartan mistakenly interchanged.

Both words were first recored around the same, c.1500.
What are Scottish tartan pants?
Every clan in Scotland has a tartan, which is a design woven into the cloth they use to make garments for formal occasions. You know what the cloth in a kilt looks like, correct? That's a tartan. (Hundreds of years ago, clans would fight wars against each other, so the tartans were like the uniforms modern soldiers wear.) Tartan pants are pants made from this cloth. Kilts are great ceremonial garments, but they're not very practical--it's very hard to farm or log in a kilt because it keeps getting caught on everything, so pants are better. In the US, they're probably just a fashion statement.
