nArgylenis a sort of plaid, and apparently it is derived from the tartan ofnClan Campbell, from Argyll, Scotland. (You probably know thatnScotland is part of Great Britain, which is part of the UnitednKingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So make that: Argylencomes from Argyll, Scotland, Great Britain, United Kingdom. Whew!)nThe pattern was used for kilts, plaids (the garment, not thenpattern), and high socks that were often called “tartan hose.”
