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.

Fletcher Clan Histoire & Origines
Découvrir l'histoire de Clan Fletcher
L'Écosse ne manque pas d'histoires à raconter
Territories
One of the most magnificent of the many lovely Highland glens is undoubtedly Glenorchy, whence the Fletcher Clan is said to have originated.
Clan Chief
Many of the Fletcher Clan emigrated to the United States and Canada after clearances by the Earl of Breadalbane. The fourteenth and last chief died in New York in 1911.
D'où vient le nom Fletcher?
In Gaelic Fletcher is Mac-An-Leister, Son of the Arrowmaker
Glen Orchy
Glen Orchy is a glen in Argyll and Bute in Scotland, running from Bridge of Orchy to Dalmally, well worth the detour from the main connecting road to enjoy the ancient Caledonian forest. Legend has it that Fletcher was the first to raise smoke and boil water in Glen Orchy. During the Highland Clearances the majority of the Fletcher Clan were evicted from Glenorchy by the Campbell Marquesses of Breadalbane, with many emigrating to the United States and Canada. Today there are 29 Fletcher graves in Glenorchy kirk's burial ground and there are many more at Achallader Castle.The Fletchers claim descent from Kenneth MacAlpin, the first king of the united Picts and Scots, and ancestor of our present Royal family. The Fletchers were the first to 'raise smoke and boil water' on the Braes of Glenorchy
Clan Motto: Recta Pete (Seek for right things).
Dunans Castle
From 1715 to 1997 Dunans has been the original home of the Fletcher clan and when they left their previous home at Allachader Castle they brought the door with them.
