Willkommen in der Erskine Tartan Seite! Dieses Schottische Tartan Grundfarbe ist rot und grun. Erskine ist ein Gebiet südlich des Flusses Clyde, 16 km westlich von Glasgow.

Jahrhundert, während der Herschafft Alexanders II., und war Besitzer der Baronie von Erskine. Die Familie unterstützte Robert the Bruce - sie war durch Heirat von John of Erskines ältester Tochter mit Thomas Bruce, King Roberts Bruder, mit ihm verwandt.

First of all to explain why there are so many tartans, way over 2000 in fact. There are an awful lot of Scottish clans to start with and on top of this each clan can have many different tartans and names associated with it.
Während der letzten 300 Jahre waren Tartans Teil der offiziellen Kleidung einiger der beruhmtesten Regimenter in der Welt des Militärs. Die Tartans der jeweiligen Regimenter sind unstrittig verbunden mit der tiefsten Identität der Soldaten, die sie tragen. Erkunden Sie die assoziierten Regimenter unten:
Jeder Tartan hat Variationen, die meiste verbreitet sind Ancient, Modern, Weathered, Hunting and Dress.
About tartan variations
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.
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.

The Modern tartans are often the more subtle combinations such as the classic Black Watch Modern
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.
Some mills refer to the Weathered tartans as Muted.
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.
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.
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.
