FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 6, 2012 -- Consisting of broad bands of different colours, tartan is a pattern or design that cut each other horizontally and vertically.

Woven in woollen initially, nowadays it has been accepted as a design for all types of cloths like cotton, terry cotton etc. Riding on a rich history of more than 300 years, tartan pattern has been seen with the people of royal families and with warriors. A separate colour or a specific pattern of tartan was designated to a specific family at a time when each feudal lord has maintained separate private armies. For that particular clan, it has been considered as the uniform. To identify the person, this clan tartan was mainly used. To find who the enemy is and who the friend is the use of clan tartans in wars helped.
Firm on the opinion that the clan tartans were non-existent before the 19th century, there are some historians. They are stating that the method of identifying friends from the enemies were done by the change in the colour of broad ribbons wore on the upper parts of the hands and not by clan tartans was during 1746 Battle of Culloden. According to them by the beginning of the 19th century only, the clan tartan came to exists.

The aristocratic clans had their own tartan weaver who uses to weave tartans solely for them. Anyway, clan tartans were also being registered by 1815. This way every clan had their own tartans and this gave them a sense of identity.
