I consider the Saffron Kilt a "tartan", and any officially recognized kilt a tartan. I didn't think it had to do with it being plaid.

A tartan cloth by definintion has to have a crisscross design, in other words what we call plaid, and as pointed out in this helpful article by Matt, the term does not only describe Scottish clan tartans. http://www.albanach.org/other_tartans.htm
