Irish Tartans Questions

[gilmore]

That wasn't my point, Dave. My point was that the Ulster tartan did not originate in the 19th century, when Irish nationalists began to adopt Highland attire as some sort of "pan-Celtic" garment.

The Ulster tartan occurred to me, but I think it could be distinguished from the later Irish tartans as it was most likely worn by Scots (or a Scot) who probably would not have identified themselves as being Irish, but as Scots merely living in Ireland at the time. It is a beautiful tartan IMHO.
