Scottish plaid is a type of patterned cloth, typically made of wool, which is associated with Scotland. It is also known as TARTAN, and is composed of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colors. The pattern of the cloth is traditionally determined by the sett, which is a repeating pattern of several different colored threads. The Maud is a type of Scottish plaid that is usually made of two or more colors, and is often used for kilts.
