Well, actually I meant the pattern (I know, that tartans are Scottish). But I meant the pattern themselves.

by checked do you mean the,' tartan pattern'
i believe it was a gaelic woven fabric, that was first dicovered in a known scottish gaelic archeology site, but irish and cornish have a tartan pattern so my best guess would be yes they probaly invented it, as a way of identification during clanish skirmishes.

in my opinion, i could not care a a lot less no matter if human beings say British, Scotish or maybe with. per chance one answer is that once human beings from abroad listen "British" they promptly imagine "English" - so per chance from time to time human beings say "Scotish" to emphasize the shown actuality that to be British isn't unavoidably to be English. As maximum persons are hybrids of the British Isles - does it count number? I actually have one Scottish grandad, an Irish grandma, an English grandma (of Irish decent) and an Irish grandad... i replaced into born in England - so i'm English. many folk have this kind of historic past - in reality we are in straightforward words some hundred miles except for one yet another - ridiculous to be afflicted about it really.

If you mean ''tartan" then yes.
But I would have thought that anyplace with weaving would have come up with a check pretty quickly.

You probably should change "checked" for plaid. Several races have used plaid,for example The Siamese(Thai people).
