Tartans: Locality

Most tartans are associated with a different nationality. So we classify them by locality, to help you find ones appropriate to your own roots. To be shown only your local tartans, select this option in the Advanced Search of our Tartan Finder. (This can be combined with other filters too.)

Not surprisingly most are Scottish. But there are many Irish tartans, Welsh tartans, tartans for almost every American state, and many more besides. Many of the less common ones (e.g. Dutch, Japanese, etc) are classified as International to prevent the list getting too long!
