Border Tartan

Border Tartan, sometimes known as Northumbrian Tartan, Shepherds' Plaid or Border Drab, or Border check is a design used in woven fabrics historically associated with the English-Scottish Border, including the Scottish Borders and Northumbria. Possibly the most identifiable Border tartan garment of the region is the maud (plaid), made popular from the 1820s by fashionable Border Scots such as Sir Walter Scott, James Hogg, Henry Scott Riddell and Robert Burns.
