4variations

Les couleurs d'un tartan peuvent être rendues suivant des nuances variées, ce qui conduit à des variations possibles dans le rendu d'un même tartan. qualifiées de ancien, modernes, weathered, hunting et dress.

Pour expliquer les variations de tartan

  • Ancient
  • Modern
  • Weathered
  • Hunting
  • Dress

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.

Let's talk about tartan...

The Galloway tartans were designed by Councillor John Hannay during the 1930s, to allow those with no clan tartan of their own to show their attachment to a particular area or district of Scotland and in this case Galloway.

Dumfries and Galloway

What's in the name?

Galloway is a territorial name from the former Celtic princedom and the modern district in south-west Scotland. The name can be found in Dunbartonshire from about the sixteenth century. There were other families bearing this name who later appeared on the east coast of Scotland. Robert Galloway, author of ‘poems, epistles and songs in the Scottish dialect’, was born in 1752.

Who's from Galloway?

Galloway translates as "place of the foreign Gaels" from the Gaelic word "gall" for foreigner and Gaidheal "Gael". The most famous person connected to the Dumfries and Galloway region is Robert Burns but there are lots more including David Coulthard, Formula 1 racing driver, Thomas Carlyle, Scottish essayist and historian and of course the gorgeous Sam Heughan currently starring in the TV series Outlander.

Galloway in gaelic is Gall-Ghàidhealaibh.
