The Tartan pattern of the Scottish Kilt is often thought to be a result of the romanticism of the 17th century pushed by weavers. In actuality the Celts have been weaving the Tartan (Plaid) patterns for at least 3000 years, with archaeological finds in Austria dating back at least that far. While the diversity and prominence may have arose in the last few centuries different regions or large clans having their own distinct Tartans are nothing new and arise naturally over time. The designs were so meticulously kept down to a single string, that people have been sued successfully for taking creative liberty with the design. Different colors indicate different lineages and loyalties and histories, and are not simply artistic deference. A Scottish Wedding Tradition is for the man to use his families Plaid as a shawl for a bride after they're married to symbolize her joining his family. The Plaid Kilt is quintessentially Highland Scots and was even banned briefly by the government due to the Highlanders. -TLK

One theory is that the Selkies were Irish and other island fishermen who used Seal skins as diving clothes for hunting seals.-TLK
