Ancient Tartan
Before 1860 fabrics were coloured using animal and vegetable dyes. This produced the softer colours typical of the Ancient tartans, mossy greens and sky blues, a more orangey red and some would say showing off the pattern to much greater effect as as the contrasts are much brighter than the Modern tartans. The pattern or sett remains the same across all variations of a single tartan, and only the shades or tones vary.
Helpful Advice
Post 1860 chemical dyes replaced the natural animal and vegetable dyes and the Modern Tartans were born with their stronger and bolder colours. The soft greens and blues become bottle green and navy blue, reds are scarlet.
Modern Tartan
Before 1860 fabrics were coloured using animal and vegetable dyes. This produced the softer colours typical of the Ancient tartans. Post 1860 chemical dyes replaced the natural animal and vegetable dyes and the Modern Tartans were born with their stronger and bolder colours. The soft greens and blues become bottle green and navy blue, reds are scarlet.
Helpful Advice
The Modern tartans are often the more subtle combinations such as the classic Black Watch Modern
Weathered Tartan
Before 1860 fabrics were coloured using animal and vegetable dyes. This produced the softer, more earthy colours typical of the Weathered tartans, reminiscent of bolder colours subjected to wind, rain and sunshine producing beautiful faded tones, olive greens and browns, and very light blues with reds that are more pink than red.
Helpful Advice
Some mills refer to the Weathered tartans as Muted.
Hunting Tartan
The Hunting Tartans are the camouflage tartans and some clans don't have these variations because they are already predominantly green or brown and don't need amendment to blend in with nature's colours. The Black Watch or Gunn tartans are examples of these, whereas a tartan such as the Fraser is predominantly red and would not provide much cover for men out hunting.
Helpful Advice
One thing to remember if you are ordering your tartan to match an existing kilt or accessory is that although the sett and colours are the same, there can be a slight difference in colour from one mill to the next. This is purely down to yarn dying so if you need an exact match we suggest you order a swatch to double check.
Dress Tartan
The Dress Tartans were designed as the name suggests for celebrations and highland dance. The sett or pattern of the tartan remains the same and the main colour is changed to white, or extra white is added to the pattern to give it a brighter, more "fancy" appearance. The Scots do like to bend the rules and occasionally instead of white thread, yellow is used and this is where the rather wild MacLeod Dress Modern and Barclay Dress Modern came from.

Wie alles begann
Territories
1725 wurde es dem General George Wade erlaubt, sechs Kompanien zur gründen, die die als Wachen die schottischen Highlands patrouillierten.
Clan Chief
Die Black Watch ist eine Einheit der Infanterie, die infolge des Jakobiteraufstands von 1715 gegründet wurde. Das Highland Regiment kämpfte seither in fast allen Feldzügen der Britischen Armee und ist heutzutage Teil des Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Woher stammt der Black Watch Name?
Auf Gälisch wird das Regiment Am Freiceandan Dubh genannt, was die dunkle oder schwarze Wache bedeutet, also Black Watch. Der Gälische Name kommt von den dunklen Farben des Tartans, den die Soldaten trugen und weil es die Aufgabe des Regiments war, die Highland zu bewachen.
Zuständigkeit
Die Black Watch war damit beauftragt, Kämpfe innerhalb der Clans zu verhindern, Verbrecher zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen und jene zu entwaffnen, die illegaler Weise bewaffnet waren. Im Grunde war es die Aufgabe der Black Watch Frieden in den Highlands zu bewahren.
Wer war Teil der Black Watch?
Die Black Watch besteht aus den sechs Kompanien, die 1725 gegründet wurden. Drei der Kompanien bestanden aus Soldaten des Clan Campbell und je ein aus Soldaten des Clan Fraser of Lovat, Clan Munro und Clan Grant.

Motto des Regiments: Nemo me impune lacessit (Niemand provoziert mich ungestraft)
