Can you use code to craft a tartan that tells your story?

Tartan is part of Scotland’s identity, and is worn by millions of people around the world. It has a long history, but it’s still used in modern Scotland today.

In this activity, you’re going to design your own tartan using JavaScript code.

Once you’re done, you can add your tartan to our Scottish Connections Tartan Gallery for other learners around the world. They’ll see your tartan, and hear your story.

Whether you’re Scottish, part of Scotland’s global community, or live somewhere completely different you are welcome to be part of our tartan story. Anyone can design their own tartan, and anyone can wear tartan. It’s for everyone.
