Carnegie Tartans & Clan
Willkommen in der Carnegie Schottische Tartan Seite! Dieses Schottische Tartan Grundfarbe ist schwarz und rot mit gelb und grun. 1358 wies Walter de Maule John de Balinhard die in der Gemeinde Carmylie liegenden Länder und die Baronie von Carnegie (aus dem Gälischen ‘cathair an eige’ – ‘Festung an der Bresche’) zu. Bis auf die Tatsache, dass die Ländereien der Balinhards in der Nähe von Arbroath lagen, ist der Ursprung der de Balinhards ungewiss. Laut Nisbet könnten die de Balinhards mit den Ramsays verwandt sein - allerdings gibt es dafür keine direkten Beweise.

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.

Elsick House
Elsick House is not a castle in the traditional sense however it has as much Scottish history and drama as you would expect and has been home to the Bannerman's since 1367, except briefly after they found themselves on the wrong side after the 1745 Jacobite rebellion. Elsick came into the Carnegie family when the 10th Earl of Southesk married Ethel Bannerman, daughter of Sir Alexander Bannerman of Elsick and Crimonmogate and sole heiress. The house is now owned by the Duke of Fife, great grandson of Ethel Bannerman, who lives with his family in Angus. Today the house is beautifully restored and can be hired for exclusive use for weddings and special events.Clan Carnegie's Seat is Elsick House.
