Tartan is a complex design of interwoven patterns where the interplay of colours reflect the intracate nature of Celtic art. Originally, different colours and varying patterns arose as weavers in each area or clan developed their individual patterns and colours. The colours depended on dyes available in the area. So particular styles beacme associated with an area or clan.
The fascination with tartan now spans the world, its success lies in its distinctiveness, stylised design and interplay of colours and patterns.
