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.

Que hay en el nombre Home?
Home is an older variant spelling of Hume and derives from Hume Castle in Berwickshire
Hume Castle
Hume Castle is located in the Scottish Borders close to the village of Stitchill and was built during the late 12th Century and the early 13th Century. The lands were accquired by William De Home, who took his last name from the grounds when he accquired them, which was traditional to do at the time. The Castle was the seat of Clan Home until 1611 when they changed their seat to The Hirsel, Hume Castle is now known as the historic seat of the clan. The Castle finally fell to ruins during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms in 1650. The Castle has been re-built both in the 18th Century and in the 20th Century, both for aesthetic purposes. The Castle is now open for public viewing.Famous Homes...
The Haughty Homes. Haughty, eh? I'm not sure I like the sound of that! Don't worry, the name comes from the fact that many Homes have achieved great success in academic fields such as David Hume, world famous philosopher and historian (Home is pronounced Hume, David changed it so the English wouldn't get confused), Lord Kames, or Henry Home, one of Scotland's Institutional Writers - An Institutional writer being an academic whose writings are considered formal sources of Scot's law. As well as Academics, the Homes can count successful playwrights, balladists and a Prime Minister as members of their clan.
