Forsyth Tartans & Clan
Willkommen in der Forsyth Tartan Seite! Dieses Schottische Tartan Grundfarbe ist blau und grun mit schwarz und gelb. Wie bei vielen Familien, deren Geschichte sich bis vor das 12. Jahrhundert zurückverfolgen lässt, ist der Ursprung dieses Familiennamens ungewiss. Falls der Name keltischen Ursprungs ist, ist er möglicherweise auf den gälischen Vornamen 'Fear Sithe' (Friedensmann) zurückzuführen. Er kann allerdings auch auf einen Ort des Friedens hinweisen, auf eine bestimmte Stelle oder bestimmtes Land. Eine Theorie besagt, dass der Name von dem normannischen Namen Forsach abgeleitet wurde, einem Nordländer, der sich an der Dordogne in Aquitanien niederließ.

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.

Clan Chief
The current chief is Alister Forsyth of that Ilk, Baron of Ethie, supporter of the Scottish National Party and previously a councillor Angus, now living in France.
Woher stammt der Forsyth Name?
If the name is Celtic in its origin, it may derive from the Gaelic personal name ‘Fear Sithe’, meaning ‘man of peace’. It may, however, allude to a place of peace, and refer to a particular place, or lands.
Ethie Castle
Famously haunted and reputed to be Scotland's second oldest permanently inhabited residence, Ethie Castle in Arbroath dates back to the 12th century when monks built a sandstone keep. Originally the seat of the Forsyth Clan, the building was later occupied by Cardinal David Beaton, the 15th Century Abbot of Arbroath. Beaton was known for his vicious persecution of Protestants in the 16th century and revenge was taken when he was killed by Protestant nobles who hung his body out of a window. Legend has it that the ghost of Beaton can still be heard at night moving around Ethie Castle. The Castle was restored by Charles Forsythe, very in keeping with the clan motto "Instaurator ruinae" - meaning "repairer of ruin", and sold to the Earl of Wigtoun in 2003. Now a B&B you can go and stay there and explore your roots and experience castle life.
