Ancient Tartán
Antes de 1860, los tejidos se teñían con tintes animales y vegetales. Esto producía los colores más suaves típicos de los tartanes antiguos, verdes musgosos y azules celestes, un rojo más anaranjado y algunos dirían que mostraba el dibujo con mucho mayor efecto, ya que los contrastes son mucho más brillantes que en los tartanes modernos. El dibujo o decorado sigue siendo el mismo en todas las variaciones de un mismo tartán, y sólo varían los matices o tonos.
Consejos útiles
A partir de 1860, los tintes químicos sustituyeron a los tintes naturales animales y vegetales y nacieron los tartanes modernos, con sus colores más fuertes y atrevidos. Los verdes y azules suaves se convierten en verde botella y azul marino, y los rojos, en escarlata.
Modern Tartán
Antes de 1860, los tejidos se teñían con tintes animales y vegetales. Esto producía los colores más suaves típicos de los tartanes antiguos. Después de 1860, los tintes químicos sustituyeron a los tintes naturales animales y vegetales, y nacieron los tartanes modernos, con sus colores más fuertes y atrevidos. Los verdes y azules suaves se convierten en verde botella y azul marino, y los rojos, en escarlata.
Consejos útiles
Los tartanes modernos suelen ser las combinaciones más sutiles, como el clásico Black Watch Modern
Weathered Tartán
Antes de 1860, los tejidos se teñían con tintes animales y vegetales. Esto producía los colores más suaves y terrosos típicos de los tartanes envejecidos, que recuerdan a colores más atrevidos sometidos al viento, la lluvia y el sol, produciendo bellos tonos desvaídos, verdes oliva y marrones, y azules muy claros con rojos que son más rosas que rojos.
Consejos útiles
Algunas fábricas se refieren a los tartanes Weathered como Muted.
Hunting Tartán
Los tartanes de caza son los tartanes de camuflaje y algunos clanes no tienen estas variaciones porque ya son predominantemente verdes o marrones y no necesitan enmiendas para mezclarse con los colores de la naturaleza. Los tartanes Black Watch o Gunn son ejemplos de ello, mientras que un tartán como el Fraser es predominantemente rojo y no proporcionaría mucha cobertura a los hombres que salen de caza.
Consejos útiles
Una cosa que debe recordar si está pidiendo su tartán a juego con una falda escocesa o accesorio existente es que, aunque el conjunto y los colores son los mismos, puede haber una ligera diferencia en el color de un molino a otro. Esto se debe puramente a la tintura del hilo, por lo que si necesita una coincidencia exacta, le sugerimos que pida una muestra para comprobarlo.
Dress Tartán
Los tartanes de gala se diseñaron, como su nombre indica, para celebraciones y bailes de las Highlands. El decorado o dibujo del tartán sigue siendo el mismo y el color principal se cambia por el blanco, o se añade más blanco al dibujo para darle un aspecto más brillante y "elegante". A los escoceses les gusta saltarse las normas y, en ocasiones, en lugar de hilo blanco, se utiliza amarillo, y de ahí surgieron los bastante salvajes MacLeod Dress Modern y Barclay Dress Modern.

From the start
Robertson Clan Origins & History
Explore the history of Clan Donnachaidh
How it all started
Territories
The Donnachaidh Clan is found in the beautiful heartland of Scotland, Perthshire. For over a 1000 years the Donnachaidh Clan have dominated the Highland side of Perthshire with over 10 castles and a rich history of battles, exploration and glory.
Clan Chief
The current Clan Chief of Donnachaidh is Alexander Gilbert Haldane Robertson of Struan, the 23rd chief. Since 1983 Gilbert has represented the clan travelling to clan gatherings around the world and was even present at the unveiling of a cairn at Robertson Point on the shores of Sydney Harbour. Trained as an electrical engineer, Struan is now a fruit farmer in the southeast of England.
Where does the name Donnachaidh come from?
It is important to note before looking at the origins of the Donnachaidh Clan that this clan is the only Clan left in Scotland that still goes by their Gaelic name instead of their angelized name Robertson. The Donnachaidh’s are one of the most historic Clans in Scotland with their ancestors going all the way back to the Royal House of Abbot, the last of the Celtic Kings of Scotland. The Donnachaidh Clan story begins with Duncan, father of Scots, who you might recognise from your school English class on MacBeth. The King had a younger son Maelmare who became Earl of Atholl and was the ancestor of the first Chief of Clan Donnachaidh, Donnchaidh Reamhar, the "Stout Duncan".
Dunalastair Castle
Dunalastair Castle is located in the Scottish County of Perthshire and is the historic seat of Clan Robertson. The Robertson family are actually a part of the Donnachaidh Clan which also includes the families of Duncan and Reid. The Robertson chief originally resided in the castle until the 1850s when the Robertsons sold the castle to the MacDonalds. The original building on the estate was burnt down during the Jacobite Risings of 1745, but was soon re-built at the turn of the 19th Century. If you want a fantastic view over the Robertson Clan seat the 'fairy hill of the Caledonians' (in other words the peak of Schiehallion) looks over the Dunalastair estate.
War cry
The Clan war cry "Garg'n Uair Dhuisgear" is gaelic for "Fierce when Roused". This war cry relates back to the Chief's coat of arms which contains three silver wolf heads on a blood red shield supported by a serpent and a dove. The dove signifies the beginning of the clan as parts of Scottish heraldry state that the clan began with St Columba. In this heraldry the Abbot of Dunkeld, descended from Saint Columba was recognized for his counter-seal which shows Saint Columba enthroned on two wolves.
Donnachaidh Clan Crest
The Clan Crest of Clan Donnachaidh has a deep-rooted place within the aftermath of the Scottish Wars of Independence. This crests story begins with James 1st, grandson of the great Robert the Bruce. James had a troubled life with his brothers dying unexpectedly (most likely murdered although there is no proof), so James was sent to live in France. Life didn't get any easier as James was captured on his way to France by the English and forced to spend 18 years of his life in England, until his time came to rule Scotland like his forefathers before him. James' reign was not exactly steady, and it all came down to one notorious day at Blackfriars church in Perth when James was murdered by his own uncle in an attempted coup. The murderer Walter Stewart, Earl of Atholl, was later captured by the Donnachaidh’s for his treachery and was brought to the new King, James II. For this, the new King rewarded the Donnachaidh’s with the crest of a right hand upholding an imperial crown!
What is the Donnachaidh Pipe Music?
The Donnachaidh Clan are renowned for their influence in bagpiping with their most famous tune going back to the infamous Battle of Bannockburn. The "Coming of Clan Donnchaidh" was used after the arrival of the clan’s brave warriors at one of Scotland’s most important and vital battles, the battle of Bannockburn. Today the clan marches to ‘The Blue Ribbon’ which was written by J O’Reilly, (no there is relation to myself, also J Reilly, I wish I had that musical talent!). There are many more iconic Bagpiping tunes written for and by the Robertson’s and you can find out more here.
Do you know what the Donnachaidh Coat of Arms is?
If you know Scottish Heraldry law you will know that the coat of arms for a clan is for one person and for one person only, the Clan Chief. The current Chief of Donnachaidh’s coat of arms hosts all the important pieces of history previously mentioned, the hand holding the crown, the two wolves and the clan motto.
The Donnachaidh Plant Badge
The Donnachaidh have two plant badges, the first being the Bracken Fern. The Bracken Fern is native to all British countryside, but is especially noticeable around the southern side of the clan territory in nearby Loch Rannoch. Although poisonous to both humans and animals this plant is known for its beauty and if you visit the area you won't be disappointed. The second plant badge is the Fine Leaved Heath which can also be found around Loch Rannoch. This wonderful purple shrubbery can be found in all forest land all around Europe all year round!
The Story of Loch Tummel
In the early days of the Scottish Wars of Independence the first chief of clan Donnachaidh was profusely loyal to Robert the Bruce. The Stout Duncan stayed loyal to Bruce even after his ultimate crime of killing his opponent upon the high altar at Franciscan priory. Following the brutal murder of his opponent to the crown, Bruce quickly made his way to the Stone of Destiny in Scone palace. After being crowned King, he needed to hide and regroup but he was running low on support within the country so he turned to the one man he knew would keep him and his family safe. The Stout Duncan took Bruce and his family in and kept them safe around his lands in Loch Tummel.
Loch Tummel is a long, narrow loch in Perthshire, lying 6 miles west of Pitlochry and the area around this is known as Strathtummel, full of big, old trees and renowned for it's beauty when the leaves are changing colour.
Clan Donnachaidh Society
Since 1893 the main Clan Donnachaidh society has maintained and renewed the family bond among a clan now scattered throughout the world. From South Africa to Canada there are plenty smaller Donnachaidh societys all hoping to preserve the fantastic history that this clan has been building for over 1000 years!

Clan Motto: Virtuis Gloria Mereces (Glory is the reward of valour.)
