Tartan for the Irish!

The Scots came from Ireland in the fifth century and for a millennium the two nations shared a mutual culture and a mutual language. What they did not share was the development of tartan. Historically, the Irish did not wear tartans; however, there are names associated with certain tartans that are clearly Irish in origin. This book brief examination of the history of the tartan in Ireland, Irish Names, and the divisions of Ireland precede the "Tartan-Name" list.
