The first one would be called either Plaid or tartan are interchangeable. It is the kind of pattern worn by people in Scotland, traditionally.
Check just means squares like on a chess board, but it can be only in 2 colours, for example black and white.
The second scarf is a sort of chequered pattern but is not tartan.
