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.
Quelques constats
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.
Quelques constats
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.
Quelques constats
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.
Quelques constats
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.

L'Écosse ne manque pas d'histoires à raconter
Territories
The Dunbar Earls of Dunbar and March controlled much of Lothian, and all of "The Borders", Berwick, Peebles, Selkirk, and Roxburgh, plus great holdings in Northumberland and Cumberland.
Clan Chief
The current chief is Sir James Dunbar of Mochrum, 14th Bt.
D'où vient le nom Dunbar?
Dun means fortress in Gaelic and Bar is the name of the brave captain who was awarded the fortress after the Battle of Scone when the Picts fled.
Dunbar Castle
Just west of the harbour in Dunbar town is Dunbar Castle, which although once one of the most important castles in Scotland, is now more of a ruin today. A stronghold existed from as far back as the 9th century and no wonder given its location by the harbour of the burgh. Our favourite tale is of the Countess of Douglas, also known as Black Agnes, who held the castle successfully against the english army for six weeks in 1338, using a giant catapult.The Clan Dunbar has long been closely associated with the Church, and has built monasteries, abbeys, and chapels throughout the Scottish Nation. The Clan was present on the Crusades to the Holy Land, and the Seal of the House of Dunbar can be found on the Arbroath Declaration sent to the Pope.
Clan Motto: In Promptu (In readiness).
