The "plaid" is the name of the long, rectangular scarf over the shoulder that's worn with the kilt. I changed to the U.S.A. terminology in the Freebies post to eliminate the confusion for the people who read it here. "Tartan" is the correct name for what we call "plaid."

I don't think I have ever heard anyone use "plaid", though of course I see it all the time on websites etc. We tend to use "tartan" here - <br />I wonder if this is yet another example of USA v UK/Austr/NZ useage? And which word do Canadians use - do they follow their North American neighbours, or UK useage?Jocelyn in NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178624742067809369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34231628.post-77808973681112680932010-01-09T19:02:46.545-08:002010-01-09T19:02:46.545-08:00Great explanation!
