Okay, let's talk about the Tartans, but it seems there's a bit of a mix-up. The actual mascot is not a person wielding weapons, but rather a nod to Scottish heritage. The Carnegie Mellon University Tartans are a great example. Their mascot isn't a tough-looking warrior, but instead a friendly Scottish Terrier. This little dog rocks a red scarf and represents the school's athletic teams. The name "Tartans" comes from Andrew Carnegie's Scottish roots, and it's all about a traditional Scottish fabric with a cool plaid design[ICON_plaid]. So, while it might not sound tough at first, the Tartans have a rich history and a cute mascot to boot 🦴
