I agree with Jake, if you mean a plaid that is wrapped across the chest, you are thinking of a piper's plaid. You can find a step-by-step pictorial guide to tying a piper's plaid in the Appendix of the Regimental Drum Major's Association Dress Manual, at page 99. The manual can be accessed here: http://drummajor.net/documents/RDMADressManualv2_5.pdf.
Here is another article on the piper's plaid: http://www.bagpipejourney.com/articl...rs_plaid.shtml
If you really do mean a day plaid, such as that pictured in the other responding posts, here is an article from Matt Newsome's blog that may give you some additional information: http://kiltmaker.blogspot.com/2008/0...ats-plaid.html
And if you really mean a day plaid or laird's plaid, the pics in the other posts pretty much tell you all you need to know...Hope that all helps. Cheers...
