British tartan is a type of fabric that is characterized by having a pattern of horizontal and vertical lines of different colors that form squares. Tartan is traditionally associated with Scotland, where each clan has its own distinctive design. However, tartan has also been used in other parts of the UK and the world, as a symbol of cultural or fashion identity.
