Tartans are an iconic symbol of Celtic heritage — but their stories differ between Ireland and Scotland.
👑 Scottish Tartans
Origins trace back to the 16th century
Deeply tied to clans and lineage
Officially recorded & steeped in ceremony and tradition
Commonly worn in piping bands, Highland games & formal events
🍀 Irish Tartans
A more modern creation, often linked to counties rather than clans
Known for brighter, landscape-inspired colors
Growing in popularity, especially among the Irish diaspora
